only the profoundest questions are met with an eternal silence. reminded of sal vandagnyr asking the heavenly envoys about the meaning of eternity and the envoys fell silent 😮

[@Minsleif]

SAL VINDAGNYR AHHHH in a way it also parallels Enkanomiya where they begged for their gods to save them except only Istaroth answered hmmmm

[@moonspine6236]

who is vandagnyr? is he in genshin or a reference?

[@scrappy_horns8139]

How would he react if he finds out Nahida and Scaramouche has been messing around with Irminsul and altering ppl’s memories and events… Alhaitham seems pretty rigid on keeping order, laws of nature what is forbidden and allowed based on his monologue about written history and unanswered questions

[@Thejonathon]

"Please Leif a like" XD I can't believe I just noticed this

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

This man literally just taught a lesson in transcendentalism and I love that. I did a project on it in high school years ago.

[@Lez20]

The man kicks his sword and jumps midair I REFUSE TO BELIEVE HE DOESNT DO LEG DAY

[@sageofsixpaths8392]

It's interesting that when he talks about peace, Nahida shows up which is another nod to rukkhadevata's complete erasure in history

[@mariapazgonzalezlesme]

Okay but listen, from what I understand, on the real word, most of our current language is from Greek and Latin --- which could be a parallel to Khaenri'ah. Meaning this rule to don't find the genesis of words or their origins, is to avoid any form of connection with that nation. Which is not strange that Alhaitham mentioned the bird, of all animals. Because birds are usually symbols of freedom and sending a messeage. Just like Barbatos's tale about the two birds, Nahida's parallel of being a caged bird and Mona's story about the crystal bird.

[@Minsleif]

I love this!! And also smth to note is the cyclical nature of history (previous civilizations getting wiped much like Khaenri’ah) anD YOU’re so right about the bird imagery!

[@effortlessfury]

Frankly, I think the reason why the investigating the genesis of language is forbidden is that Teyvat does not have a "natural" genesis of language; rather, it existed before Teyvat did and was brought from another world.

[@kimihikokimizuka2165]

Maybe that bird represents the fact that some Gods came from another world just like how birds migrate from one place to another due to climate change

[@arahaitham123]

For someone with such a thirst for knowledge, Alhaitham really hold himself from seeking the origin of language, in other word the secret of creation itself (assuming somewhere there's the first words in teyvat were been used to record the creation of teyvat). If it's not for his value of ethics, he could be another Dottore. Imagine if he was dedicated to discover the secret of teyvat itself and access Irminsul by forced. Who knows what will happen. We're lucky he is in the good side.

[@pump-kin113]

Alhaitham is sus i will cry if I dont find more about him in his story quest, i swear if I get another Nilou story quest..

[@Andrea-kw1ul]

Its so interesting how when the teaser gets to the "peace" part, the scene behind Alhaitham is right after the Scarlet King's sacrifice, but instead of Rukk being there, it's Nahida...

[@Justmyselfyt]

This teaser had more demandions to him and maybe his story quest we will have more anksers about Sumeru or even Teyvat

[@wolfhunter9631]

He see us changing time

[@jane63093]

there's definitely way more than to what meets the eye here with Alhaitham - i believe there's ton of lore behind him that we have yet to uncover. why else would he be a major character in the sumeru archon quests?

[@ariesilia2.083]

It’s interesting he said the bird when Al haitham means young hawk in the Arabic language and in Egypt they were linked to royalty hovering above mortals Horus a god that literally has the same color scheme as the scarlet king he is described as a hawk or falcon too ( I assumed that bec of the statues in the desert ) + I noticed toth is a bird who we also see in some temples in Genshin and he is the god of knowledge and wisdom hmmm sus toth was related to the moon while Horus was related to the sun

[@jasperlaurier3679]

also am the only one who thinks that the stars seen in the part where al haitham says well stars. Could maybe be the real sky in stead of the fake one?

[@Jshoea]

I needed a little more abs and back muscles...but this teaser trailer will do 🤣😂🤣

[@jasperlaurier3679]

also in the cutscene where lumine is running we see a big red moon. And in the spiral abyss floor 12 there also is a big moon but then blue

[@cecily796]

I can't help but be very curious about how the words just.. floated from the pages towards him Like it could be nothing more just a visual thing to make it prettier or something or a "knowledge being absorbed as you read the book" thing visualized but.. There's still this thought in my brain what says: "What if it's something more than that?" Hoyo does everything for a reason so I can't really shake this suspicion off

[@TheBilayer]

Fun fact Deshret is a type of crown ~~ there are three main crown or more Deshret + Hedjet = Pschent (Double Crown) Benben is so underrated in lore video. Benben is very important in Egyptian mythology. Benben is in the story that Ra fought Seth and Apep.

[@YeKoiKoi09]

In the first scene where he is standing there are no flowers that show on the same scene as he questions about the unanswered questions and when he is walking in the library his cord that supposedly attached to his headphones are not there but appear after being transported outside

[@jasperlaurier3679]

hey! Loved the video and i might have some unknown lore. You see i take greek and latin this year has only been my second year though but I have seen those references to greek and latin culture like we all know like the helios is named after the greek god of the sun. Helios. And that in enkonomiya there are greek names. But there was something that cought my eye. You see to level up the statues we need the oculus. and oculus is latin for eyes so maybe that means that the oculi are the eyes of the seven or something else. Also during the part were you talked about the removal of greater lord rukhadevata in the background you can see a grand flourishing area but this suposedly looks like the desert before the calamity of king deshret. But in the picture before that it shows the desert not as an oasis but as a sandy desert So how does that work. I hope I was of some use and have a nice day!

[@moonspine6236]

did any one notice that when kusunali was shown the closer objects were of the rainforest and the further objects were of the desert, this symbolises peace and harmony in her reign

[@Swondine]

I hav ascended just watching this 😍

[@keenoyo]

"That's a pretty shot" indeed but so are you Minsleif 😍😂

[@LeanneKrv]

Does irminsul also change records that are written in books etc? I might've missed something and didn't pay attention.

[@volkanberber3081]

After nahida erases Rukhedevatta from Irminsul, some books in the game that refference her are permanently changed. So yeah, books can indeed be changed by Irminsul.

[@baguette_connoisseur]

Yes, books get changed by Irminsul.

[@LeanneKrv]

@@volkanberber3081 ohh I see. Thank you for explaining.

[@Noavailableusernamesadly]

Bro her normal voice is more calming than my therapist's 😔

[@bingchilling994]

When he said the stars at the beginning the sky looked weird didn't it?

[@A_random_funeral_consultant]

At 2:24 you can see the sun behind Nahida but Nahida refers to herself as the moon Is this a hint Al Haitham knows about rukkadevata or perhaps coincidence Al Haitham sees Nahida as a symbol of peace meaning that depiction at 2:24 is how he sees Nahida as a person and idea in general This trailer mentions complex ideas, like truth, origin and more so it makes me wonder if Al Haitham made some new discoveries in his research on the past or that he maybe noticed reality has changed because of inconsistencies, like how Nahida said she feels someone existed before her like words erased from paper but still leaving a dent that can be felt Many interesting questions from a small observation

[@moonspine6236]

I don't think that alhaitham is the scarlet king or even directly related to him, he is just doing what a scribe do record and pass down history

[@nahidaiswatching]

omg you're so beautiful 😭 and I love your content (not tryna be weird)

This teaser is amazing but all I want to know is why his clothes look like a half ripped banana 🍌

[@Evitzeoshowerthoughts]

"why doesn't he do leg day" "the most profound of questions are only met by boundless silence" that's some timing also can anyone recommend a good theory video on why people think alhaitham is deshert reincarnate? Personally, I think it's stupid. The ningguang being guizhong reincarnate one was already meh for me. Can anyone give me absolute evidence that reincarnating into a human is a thing. For now I only ever seen Vanessa possibly becoming a falcon and maybe makoto but I thought her leftover energy just dissipated and left the tree behind. Even nahida ain't a reincarnation, she's a segment of rukkha (or irminsul) that was made when she existed.

[@taepoustouflant]

I think it's mostly because Al Haitham has the exact same eyes as the "forbidden knowledge" cutscene with King Deshret. I don't fully believe in that theory but it's too similar to say it's coincidence.

[@SangVanN]

Haha! You joke about skipping leg day but that's why I'm not going for him 🤣

[@alberto7412]

not the scarlet king but maybe, the reincarnated of the scarlet king.. just sayin'
