Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. (Squints hard at the YouTube).

So. Where does that leave the theory that at the moment right after the sundering - we are left with 14 identical planets, with identical copies of “powered down” ancients?

For example, do we still think that “Pre-Sundering Azem” gets split into 14 identical but also much less powerful Azems? As would all Ancients?

Does this video put forward that these identical copies were all left so discombobulated that they were bereft of language and coherent thought? (Or is it just metaphorical?)

For me, this is important to the story, because it involves our Azem. In the post-sundering, were each of the 14 sundered Azems simply left just underpowered and a little confused - or were they basically brain-wiped and left to fend/die/wander off a cliff? Big difference there.

I still find the Sundering a bit suspish. This video is helping a little…

One big issue I still have, is that if the 14 reflections were all perfect copies, then there would be books and records. If the sundered ancients were a little foggy on the details of the pre-sundered world, they could just pick up a newspaper from that previous morning (so to speak).

But if this video is implying that the Sundering robbed the Ancients of their language - and the abilities to read and write… that’s pretty horrible, but does explain why the Ancients in each reflection didn’t just attempt to pick things back up from right before the Sundering.
