like in Ancient Egypt, so that all of it would exist in their other lives, wherever they went. It turns out that they are here, and here, for example, the density of this world is from 500 to 1000. And there’s another world, also here, but from 1000 to 2000. And maybe they did something so that this could appear with them there in the future. Maybe it’s that kind of method. These are the two simplest versions for the human mind to understand — the two most basic and common ones. There could be many more reasons why. There are versions where they hid it, preserved it, protected it. And when these gods left — let’s say, while people were still in the world of the gods, together with the gods — then the gods either were overthrown, or left, or something happened in the world. But some people remained, who remembered them. And maybe they buried it all this way and are guarding it, protecting it, waiting for the cycle to happen again and for the gods to return. And they are like guardians, watchers to this day. There are people, passed down through generations, who know where these sacred places are, and it’s exactly in such places that something has been buried. And it was buried simply so there would be some kind of connection with these gods. Like a holy place, where there’s no need to touch the sword or some helmet — it’s just there, like relics, you know, that radiate energy. And they simply exist for that purpose — to make contact with that time, with those gods. I don’t know, there are many possibilities. Maybe it really is a storage site. And still, since something extremely ancient was there — so ancient that now nothing is visible except for swamp, like what I have in Karelia — maybe something truly is there. Maybe something really is hidden there. But again — was it hidden simply because a civilization once existed there and that’s just what remains? Or was it hidden specifically for the future? Or was it hidden specifically by me? Or specifically by someone else, but for me? I don’t know. But there were such versions suggesting — how could I find what was hidden? Because if, let’s say, everything truly repeats itself literally, then when I start building something in Karelia and decide to make a time capsule and hide something in it — bury this time capsule in my Karelia — I will choose a spot which, if I begin digging to place the capsule there, I might actually find it already buried in that same place. That’s one theory. Because there’s the assumption that the ruins I found there, which feel like ruins, as if there was once a settlement, give the impression that it’s my own settlement — one I am only now beginning to build, yet somehow
