Fallout's Oldest Location Changes Everything | Fallout Lore

Fallout’s world has some really strange things, including a powerful artefact, lost ancient cities and a theory suggesting that humans came from a precursor civilisation of non-humans, and that’s just this video. The Rub’ al Khali, or Empty Quarter, is the largest continuous sand desert on Earth. It is a region said to have bested Kings, adventurers and nomads for thousands of years. It is also rumoured to be the location of Ubar, The Atlantis of The Sands, a mythical city thought to have been destroyed by a natural disaster or as a punishment by God. While the lost city of Ubar has almost certainly been “found” within our world, with many experts claiming to have discovered the city, in one place or another. In Fallout it continues to be this mythical location, although instead of St John Philby, or Thomas Edward Lawrence who famously hunted for the fabled entrepot, we have Lorenzo Cabot.

What video would you like to see next?

[Conquistador]

Okay call me crazy but maybe the reason the region around the Mojave Outpost is so empty is because the ancient city that Lorenzo is looking for is underneath the racetrack

[cyberpsycho]

The mission around this family almost feels like a spiritual sequel to The Nameless City by Hp Lovecraft

I just want to say, burying dig sites isn't an uncommon archaeological practice in reality. When a site isn't constantly attended to by archaeologists, it is very easy for looters to come in and steal artifacts for sale on the black market, or irresponsible residents to come in and damage the site. Burying the dig is an easy way to help protect the site while archaeologists are away, so long as precautions are taken to help distinguish that which has been dug before.

I imagine that the "crown" helped humans to crowd control other humans for their inhuman masters (see dragon masks in skyrim)

[ebertwix]

Lorenzo is simply a fascinating character. His motives are mysterious but also understandable and human. When I first had the option of letting him out, I did so knowing he was probably going to kill my character, but then we learn something else about him, that he is true to his word.

The Art Nouveau style was common during the 1930-1950's . Where the crown was found had none of those heads there . Although for there to be a head under a Marble quarry means it was there when the marble was formed...

[bobidybilly]

I’d love a video on what it was like during the immediate aftermath of the bombs, whenever a ghoul speaks of those times it’s always over too soon

[Rathause]

The same way that the quest in Fallout 3, The Replicated Man, was expanded upon by Fallout 4’s main quest, I think the quests involving Lorenzo and the artifact might be expanded upon by Fallout 5.

A "crown" that gives you vast knowledge but makes you spend more time with it than with your family and raises your aggression levels?
My man, that's not a crown, that's a gaming headset.

[muttipi]

you talking about the precursors creating humanity in their image while showing the institute creating third gen synths is a really interesting parallel, I personally believe that third gen synths could be considered human people because they’re almost completely identical to us biologically and psychologically except for the way they’re conceived and a small mechanical component that’s basically comparable to a medical implant in a normal human, but considering them a completely new species of living being is actually a kinda interesting idea.

[adambussell]

The supernatural elements of FO are my favorite. I just wish there was more info about Dunwich, the interloper and all that.

[wilhelmvonpreussen]

I didnt know Lorenzo was seeking the Sierra Madre

[jacksonreichle]

This half reminds me of Adventure Time with Simon/Ice King with the Crown and it driving him insane

[lonegoat]

A lot of inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft stories, such as The Nameless City and The Mountains of Madness.

[brockschannel]

I have a headcanon that the Tunnelers from lonesome road are from the alien civilization in the Mojave desert.

[Niko_Tortellini]

Her: "Deeper..."
Synonymous: "Did you know there's a precursor species in Fallout?"

[yahyamusseb]

I always kill Lorenzo but in my mind i always think he should canonically live to continue this Lovecraftian plot

[MulliganSnicker]

Wow, as far as fallout lore goes, yeah this could change everything. Never would I have thought there were things like this going on. Very interesting

[kiracaroso]

Because of the statues connection to Lovecraftian horrors, Ug Qualtoth in particular, I chalk up the crown as another "gift" from said Lovecraftian horror to humanity, be they chosen or not.
