What all have The Ancients built? (Sonic Frontiers)

okay July's over I'll start uploading again Sonic Frontiers I've talked about the Ancients in the end a lot on this channel and you all seem to really like it when I do that so we're gonna keep doing it this time I want to focus more extensively on the Ancients after sealing the end though while you have a decent chunk of knowledge about what the Ancients did leading up to the ceiling of the end their actions afterwards are mostly a mystery or are they because in truth we actually do have evidence for everything that's happened leading up to them becoming a chow as well not in more recent pieces of media though but actually in the older titles in the series even including Sonic 1 yeah that's right I'm off my meds time for batshit Sonic Theory number five let's do this since update 3 is on the horizon well actually real quick for any of you here who don't want the most vague spoiler for update 3 anyone can possibly give you just skip the next 30 seconds of the video and you should be okay we might be getting new lore about the Ancients so with that in mind I want to give one last crack of the ancient story before it potentially confirms or more likely D confirms my theory so let's begin I've already talked about how the Ancients created the Gaia temples in preparation for a possible future encounter with Dark Gaia but that's only the tip of the iceberg there are several more structures that the Ancients likely build for example one structure of the Ancients most certainly built is Sky Sanctuary it's a massive floating structure on an island that uses chaos energy to stay afloat all of that just screams the Ancients not to mention there's literally a broken cyberspace skate in the sanctuary as well so unless the Echidna Drive somehow went to the Starfall islands and got one just to leave it on a closed off room which they didn't then the Ancients are the best candidate for the species that build Sky Sanctuary we've already guessed this before but I'm bringing it up again because size Sanctuary being a creation of the ancient is actually an incredibly important detail this is because Sky Sanctuary is one of the few stages that translates between the classic and modern games meaning we can actually use Sky Sanctuary to compare classic structures to the Ancients technology as well as modern structures awesome so what are some other structures that follow the way Sky Sanctuary is Built Well ready yourselves dear viewers because the answer is damn near all of them okay well that's a bit of an exaggeration the best place to start is Angel Island since that's the place the Ancients colonized first luckily there's a whole game dedicated to exploring Angel Island so we have plenty of places to look at so first off hydrosity the hydro City I don't really know how to pronounce it uh Theseus is amazing and exciting water park here follow Sky sanctuations I'm pretty well it has a brick-like structure and the general layout is also really similar they also both have thin tube-like structures that Sonic has to jump on should reverse through the area hydrosity is also especially similar to another area on the classic Sonic series Labyrinth Zone we'll go into more detail on Labyrinth in a second but right now we can also confirm that it was built by the ancients it goes without saying that marble Garden is definitely also a structure that was created by the Ancients it follows the structure of Sky Sanctuary even more than hydrosity does not only that but it confirms two other areas to be the origin of the Ancients marble Zone from Sonic 1 obviously an aquatic ruin from Sonic 2. Carnival night is our first outlier here it's more likely a structure that was built by Eggman than the Ancients the only structure we see that is even remotely similar to this is the pinball mini game on chaos Island but that is at least textured like the Ancients buildings this also means casino night Zone from Sonic 2 was probably built by agnion then again it does have a lot of references to Sonic and Tails so it probably wasn't built by him so maybe it was built by the Ancients then again how the hell do they know about Sonic and Tails uh yeah casino night is weird but Carnival night was most definitely built by Eggman because of how torturous it is launch based Zone was definitely built by Eggman because come on same for flying battery Zone the next one is sandopolis sandopolis is really interesting while the outside of the area is nothing too special and yes it was also built by the Ancients the actual desert temple is a lot more complicated by the way the guardian of the desert temple may not actually have been built by Eggman I could definitely see it being a construct the Ancients made to keep the structure safe the inside of the desert temple at first glance seems pretty normal but things get weird really fast and no I'm not talking about the spooky evil spirits inside if you look closely in the background you can see a mural on the walls this mural changes everything because on it you can see a humanoid figure standing next to a bird-like figure this mural could only be made possible if humans and animals existed at the same time as the Ancients did this mural is also on Angel Island which was one of the first places the Ancients colonized after the Starfall Islands meaning it was made pretty early in the Ancients time on Earth as well so this means that at one point the Ancients and humans were aware of each other finally we have lava Reef Zone I actually think the Lava Reef zone is a mix of both a temple that was built by the Ancients and eggman's Technology this would make sense considering that this is where Eggman initially crashed into after Sonic 2 and was probably the first place he started building on while the structures here are pretty similar to that of the early ancients the pipes and flamethrowers in the area are much more similar to eggman's design finally we have the mural at the end it's pretty cool anyways that's all for Angel Island but there's a couple more areas in the games I want to talk about first is Labyrinth Zone we already confirmed that it was created by the Ancients but there's another important aspect of both it and hydrosity Zone there are Engravings in the walls of animal-like beings in Labyrinth Zone we have what looks like some kind of squid a boar and an owl this owl in particular is actually pretty important because there are totems of it on Green Hill Zone and even more Engravings on it in particular in hydrosity zone so long claw confirmed well no I hope not at least instead I think that these Engravings are actually depictions of gauze from the Ancients Homeworld this isn't the first time we see depictions of their gods like this either look on the Starfall Islands one of the most common statues you'll find is of it being with a triangular head if you look at it a bit more closely you'll see that it's actually a statue of giganto why is giganto so important though not only are there statues of this Titan everywhere but the base enemies as well as the Ninja a variant of enemies seems to be based on their design this is because I think giganto is actually modeled after a god from the ancient's home look at giganto's design closely they're bipedal and have a roughly humanoid shape until you get to the hands giganto has three fingers on each hand two of them are long and one of them is much shorter most of giganto's body is clearly designed in the image of the ancient's bodies this starts to change when you get to the neck though giganto's neck is long and stretches out ending with a large mouth well at first it seems odd if you look closely it actually resembles Perfect Chaos the long neck leading up to the enormous jaws with lots of teeth if you still don't believe me look at the top of giganto's head the Vault that they store the purple Chaos Emerald on is placed exactly where perfect Chaos's horn is that contains his brain the only difference is that giganto has a Sick Beard so on the ancient's home World there is likely a God or some leader that was much bigger than them and resembles both them and Perfect Chaos it's safe to say that the three animal Engravings that we see in Labyrinth are also mystical beings on the ancient's Homeworld and now they're all dead spring yard Zone was probably built by Eggman and I can imagine Starlight zone is a city that was built by the animals living on south island since it doesn't fit the designs of Eggman or the Ancients unsurprisingly there's nothing in Sonic CD that could have possibly been built by the Ancients this makes sense considering how mysterious and hard to get two little planet is it may not have even been around the Earth when the Ancients were still alive Sonic 2 doesn't really have much to it either but this game seems to be more related to eggman's Creations than the structure to the Ancients there is one though hidden Palace zone is likely one touch that the Ancients made to West Side island with all the crystal architecture there's not a lot of argument here side note visually speaking hidden Palace zone is definitely my favorite Classic Sonic area I mean just look at it it's so cool now what did all of these areas have in common that's right they're all in the classic areas of the world and since we know Two Worlds isn't can anymore that can only mean one thing the Ancients colonization affected mainly the animal inhabited parts of the world they didn't Branch out into more human-controlled territory until they started building Gaia temples meaning that those temples were actually the last things the Ancients ever created I hope this video provides some insight about the ancient structures I'm also curious to see if we can find anything similar to the ancient structures in Sonic Superstars because it's said to take place on the North Star Island I would say we'll probably see at least something related to them because this game is heavily related to the chaos emeralds and their individual abilities just like the ancient studies also sorry I didn't talk about the mural near the emerald altar I was going to but I'm saving that for a later video you will see it though don't worry [Music]
