The Night Queen & Burney Relief

I was just thinking about the sequence again and I thought of a new theory.

Although there are buddhist monks praying at the statue, I think it may be inspired from Babylonian culture, more specifically from Lilith, the Queen of the Night.

We know that the Afterlife club is inspired by the Babylonian culture (it says so in the shard at Misty’s Esoterica). Also remember the quest with Garry the Prophet? In the final quest we see a meeting between Maelstrom and John&Jane Doe where they mention Lilith (In-Game Lilith is a rogue A.I. from past the Blackwall that Maelstrom managed to contact) in the first part of the conversation that is spoken in english. In the last part they speak latin and the Maelstrom ganger says β€œCarpe noctem lamia” which means β€œSeize the Night-Owl”. Lilith, a babylonian demon in our world, was called the β€œNight Queen” and was always depicted with owls.

There is a plaque from Babylonia called β€œBurney Relief” that may depict either Lilith or Erashkigal (Historians are split). Erashkigal is seen as the Queen of the Underworld, the land of the dead, but in our case, for the sake of the argument, we will go with Lilith as the one depicted on the plaque. Lilith is not a godess, as opposed to Erashkigal, she is a demon and she rules the night. She is also much more common in babylonian culture than Erashkigal. Her symbols are a ring and a rod that she holds in her hands. Remember the ring, I’ll explain why it may be important.

Get your tinfoil hats for this one because until now there was some actual evidence. From now on you may see it as a bit circumstantial.

We know that three people in the game have the exact same ring: Mr. Blue Eyes, Garry the Prophet and the buddhist monk. The ring is also a symbol of the she-demon Lilith, maybe a connection between the three or just overthinking it?

Just made some basic links, someone could take it further though and actually connect the code sequence to everything. I thought that it was a clue for me to go to the next statue, the one near Jig-Jig street with a lot of pink near it and the two pink orbs in it’s hands, but no luck.

Edit:

Forgot to mention that there are more links between Garry the Prophet (the Maelstromers that you see thanks to him specifically) and Mr. Blue Eyes. Maelstrom are protecting the truck from the β€œDream On” quest, a quest where Mr. Blue Eyes is involved again as he is watching you tell Jefferson what you uncovered.

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Just because it's a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
