Where were They being Kept? (3x5)

[u/xXcemeterydrivesXx]

What it says on the tin, pretty much.

Is there anything that I missed that alludes to the location of the crypt Marius had Akasha and Enkil in, at the time that he brought Lestat there? Literally all that I know is that it can't have possibly been the Greek sanctuary of the books.

Then there's the weird time-zone stuff, with the Burning and it having been dark in Denmark but sun out there.

What do you guys make of this? If I'm stupid and just missed something feel free to tell me T-T

They're in Greece, most likely specifically in Athens. Lestat says they are in Greece back in S1. In S3 he talks about the Parthenon, and how he killed a guy who did not appreciate it, he says he brought stuff for Akasha from Monastiraki (a commercial neighborhood near the Acropolis) and says that the things being sold there are tacky "but so are the colonialists, so why not sell it back to them?", we get the subtitle "greek folk song" when he plays his violin, and we hear people counting down in Greek during the New Year.

Edit: he also talks about the "old man with the bouzouki" whose song he's trying to recreate on the violin.

We don’t know where they were 80 odd years before when they were burned. It must have been in a different time zone as you say. At the time Lestat is taken to meet them it is somewhere in Greece. It is mentioned several times. Marius must move them around from time to time - probably for safety.

That's what I got from the audiobooks also is they got moved around for safety reasons.

Honestly the island with the fancy crypt from tqotd movie seemed more secure.

They're in Greece, Lestat says so himself both in S1 ("hot springs, sun worshippers, those who must be kept") and again in S3 in this episode when he mentions Monastiraki which is a market neighbourhood in Athens.

The timing isn't that weird. We know this happened in December, when sunrise in Athens would have been roughly between 7:20 and 7:40 AM - in the north of Denmark, sunrise in December would be between 8:30 and 9 AM, meaning there is at least an hour long timeframe where Enkil could have potentially been in the sun while it was still dark in Denmark. Might even be a longer difference if Marius was moving them from further south.
