I think I just figured out the Geomancy symbols...
[url=http://i.imgur.com/4abvJ.jpg] The seven layers of heaven myth. [/url] According to that myth they believed that the Earth was the center of the universe and that the moon, Mercury, Venus, the sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn all revolved around the earth. These 7 Objects. I want you to look at the order of them. The order they are in. Now we go and look at [url=http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120929211452/destinypedia/images/c/c1/Particles.png] the particle image bungie showed us [/url] and we look at [url=http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121214000230/destinypedia/images/a/aa/Gem.png] this image. [/url] We will see that the Geomancy symbols bungie showed us line up perfectly with that story. They are as follows. Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. In that order. These 7 objects relate directly to the geomancy picture. #BOOM

10 RepliesHoly shit. I think I just made a discovery. I was reading that myth again and it talked about 7 different earths. [quote] ... There are seven earths. The first is called Ramaka, beneath which is the Barren Wind, which can be bridled by no fewer than seventy thousand angels. With this wind God destroyed the people of Ad. The inhabitants of Ramaka are a nation called Muwashshim, upon whom is everlasting torment and divine retribution. The second earth is called Khalada, wherein are the implements of torture for the inhabitants of Hell. There dwells a nation called Tamis, whose food is their own flesh and whose drink is their own blood. The third earth is called Arqa, wherein dwell mulelike eagles with spearlike tails. On each tail are three hundred and sixty poisonous quills. Were even one quill placed on the face of the earth, the entire universe would pass away. The inhabitants thereof are a nation called Qays, who eat dirt and drink mothers' milk. The fourth earth is called Haraba, wherein dwell the snakes of Hell, which are as large as mountains. Each snake has fangs like tall palm trees, and if they were to strike the hugest mountain with their fangs it would be leveled to the ground. The inhabitants of this earth are a nation called Jilla, and they have no eyes, hands or feet but have wings like bats and die only of old age. The fifth earth is called Maltham, wherein stones of sulphur hang around the necks of infidels. When the fire is kindled the fuel is placed on their breasts, and the flames leap up onto their faces, as He hath said: The fire whose fuel is men and stones (2:24), and Fire shall cover their faces (14:50). The inhabitants are a nation called Hajla, who are numerous and who eat each other. The sixth earth is called Sijjin. Here are the registers of the people of Hell, and their works are vile, as He hath said: Verily the register of the actions of the wicked is surely Sijjin (83:7). Herein dwells a nation called Qatat, who are shaped like birds and worship God truly. The seventh earth is called Ajiba and is the habitation of Iblis. There dwells a nation called Khasum, who are BLACK and short, with claws like lions. It is they who will be given dominion over Gog and Magog, who will be destroyed by them…[/quote] What if the symbols that the winners recieved represent one of the earths? 1 of 7? That user's avatar is a 6 figured geomancy type of symbol and the other was a 7 figured geomancy type of symbol. What do you think?

Great find.

Here is my reaction to such a deep post
-
We must go deeper.
-
All these secret connections between different series and the real world and Bungie itself. This kind of stuff keeps me up at night and unproductive during the day.
-
Bungie are quite simply masterminds.

Does that mean poor Pluto gets left out again!? First the "official" planets, and now Destiny... :p

8 RepliesNice find. Bungie has a nasty habit of pulling their "lore" from actual history. Puerto Princessa, for example.

1 ReplyLooking at the One in Seven tickit map I am noticing some differnces in the orginal puerto princesa map. There are five additions to the map Addition 1 - the massive planet or moon in the top right of the image (I personally think is Mars) Addition 2 - A dot with what appears to be an orbit around it (I think this is the earth with the Traveler) Addition 3-5 - other planets or moons Assuming that these are planets or whatever I can't help but notice there are 5 additions and also five factions. I think this is further evidence of a connection between the factions, puerto prince map, and the geomancy figures which allude to the differning layers. Thoughts?

1 ReplyMy, very interesting! Fighting aliens on the Sun confirmed!

This was a great find.

Excellent thread. All this lore is very interesting and the symbolism is trademark Bungie.

Edited by FairlySplendid: 7/15/2013 1:53:41 AMSeems sound enough to me. In order, here is how the Bungie Geomancy translates: Lunae, Mercurii, Veneris, Solis, Martis, Jovis, Saturni. Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn. Which does follows the [i]7 Layers of Heaven[/i], alright. The seven deities, the only objects in our solar system that can be seen with the naked eye.

10 RepliesHmm... Possible confirmation of the order in which we travel to the planets?
-
That is a great catch. It doesn't surprise me one bit. There are always layers upon layers of meaning in everything Bungie does.
