Hyperion Cantos: The Time Tombs Explained

At some point during the Hegemony, the bizarre structures known as the Time Tombs appeared on the distant world of Hyperion. It was thought that the large objects had been constructed at some point in the distant future and had been sent backward through time just as the creature known as the Shrike had been. There were six structures in total. The Obelisk, The Sphinx, The Shrike Palace, The Cave Tombs, The Jade Tomb, and the Crystal Monolith.

You're one of the only vloggers I've ever seen do Hyperion. Back in the '90's someone left a beautiful hard cover 'Endymion' at my work so I took it home to read. I was instantly taken in to that universe and proceeded to read everything by or about Dan Simmons I could find; which wasn't as much back then. I of course had all my own visions of the Time Tombs, Labyrinths, Father Hoyt, Shrike Tree, etc. Not that your commentary and excellent production quality ruin any of that- it is in fact awesome to see all the visual interpretations artists have assigned to these many concepts. THANKS AND GREAT WORK!

I'm so stoked to see Hyperion still getting recognition. Thank you

[douggalent]

I skipped school back in the day just so I could have time to read Hyperion. Thanks for turning your thoughtful analysis to this series and giving it the recognition it deserves.

[richardvincent]

Thank you for covering this series. I read them many years ago and they have always stuck with me.
Really great work.

Thank you. Can't wait for more on Hyperion. Dune, I understand inside and out. Hyperion however, is quite the mindfuck of a book. Can't wait to hear more from you. Love your channel dude. Don't ever sir...

[jamesrosenkranz]

I found this channel because of these Hyperion/Dune videos - books I read when I was younger and I am sorry to say I largely forgot about. These did me the favor of remembering them to me and Ive been enjoying the hell out of this content: Thank you and I am looking forward to more!

[kushjones]

Bro I’m loving this Hyperion content! This book is a mindfuck

[DonYermo]

You got me into this amazing series with your Shrike video. Since then I've read both Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion so far, I'm extremely grateful you introduced me and many others to such a underappreciated set of works. I'm proud to say I'm a massive fan of the Hyperion Cantos now and hope you make more videos on this creative world setting.

If I remember correctly, the Crystal Monolyth was the mausoleum of Kassad from his death in the future fighting the Shrike.

Eagerly awaiting for when Quinn sends his "Introduction to the Hyperion Cantos" series video from the distant future.

[soscoffey]

Thank you for introducing me to Hyperion! Your videos on dune are top notch and in my opinion you do the greatest work covering the song of Ice and fire series! More Hyperion please, top fan all the way from Ireland 👍

[RocketeerAndRoll]

Thank you for covering more on Hyperion. It is one of my favorite book series and it deserves a lot more love.

[tjjudd]

It’s thanks to your videos that I’m diving into Hyperion for the first time ever. I’ve read Heinlein, Asimov, Clarke, Crichton, Lovecraft, and Bradbury just to name a few, so I was surprised that I’d never heard of the Hyperion Cantos until I watched your vids. Thank you for pointing me to a new science fiction fixation. Keep up the good work!

[magina]

Always felt I understood but a fraction of what Hyperion was typing to say, thanks

[Nowhasalwaysbeen]

What a pleasure to hear reviews of a series I didn’t think too many people have read. The finale to the Hyperion series remains of my most satisfying and uplifting ends to any long series I’ve read. Thank you

[MarcAl]

Hyperion and Dune are two of my favorite SF series. Love, love, love them! I wish Dan Simmons would revisit the Hyperion series

[DJRevan]

Gosh I love this series! It has the most gut-wrenching, bittersweet ending ever! Please make more videos about the Cantos, please!

[yojimbo]

I wonder if that Evil Morty episode took inspiration from the Tree of Pain where he had all those Mortys chained up on the outside dome and repeatedly stabbed.

[synchro]

I've listened to the Hyperion Cantos series many times in audio book form. I can't get enough. Your video is a wonderfully concise description and is perfect for someone who wants to learn more about it. I really hope they go forward with making films based on these books.

[SovietMOB]

Man the part where the girl gets lost inside the tomb is scary af!!! Wasn’t expecting that I was thrown off by it! Epic series and is the only reason why I am into sci-fi so much now, thanks to you of course!
Cheers!
