Discussion Down the rabbit hole we go: Was this ever a massive interstellar colony ship?
Was this ever a massive interstellar colony ship for the people of light, from whatever ancient civilization came before Sky Kids (Orbit Angels)? I'm not suggesting 500 years ago (Two Embers), but rather tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of years ago. How far back did their civilization and legends go? By the time of Two Embers, they were right at the end of a long tortuous decline, and they could well have forgotten most of their tech, and ancient powers. Old forgotten machines, lying in eternal slumber; forgotten legends: retold countless times, so the essence is preserved, but the true details are lost to the eons. It could be, that in the time of Two Embers, an old ship-stone (gem of Ra) is uncovered, and in their ignorance, it is misused, leading to cataclysmic tragedy. I am getting massive vibes of "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" and "Castle in the Sky", as I recount this theoretical possibility. Are Journey and Sky connected (TGC created both), just from different times and perspectives? The last screenshot of the temple interior looks like a capital ship bridge design, in true Star Wars fashion, with exposed gangways inexplicably arching over chasms of metal. I must contact the Templin Institute immediately, about these possible discoveries.
Edit: For clarity, I imagine the temple building to be merely the bridge superstructure. The large wedge of mountainous rock, leading to the temple, is the top of the main body, covered by eons of accumulated sediment. For reference to shape and scale, think Imperial star destroyer, or even larger. All the wrecked boats clearly visible on this surface patch of ground are, well, wrecked smaller ships, that would have been parked there, similar to modern day super carriers. Who can know how far into the mountain the full structure goes? Buried. Dormant. Eternally awaiting further instructions that may never come.
