As the old saying goes. Knowledge is knowing a Tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing that it doesn't belong in a fruit salad.

Suddenly what Xamaran says in the Chasm after you complete his quest makes 100% sense. "Ignorance might be a blessing, and knowledge might bring forth calamity." Xamaran most likely being from Sumeru himself.

I feel like the theme of sumeru will be knowledge versus wisdom/sense. E.g. you can have the knowledge to do something, but wisdom is knowing that, despite having the knowledge, it's a bad idea to do it. I think Sumeru will take pursuit of knowledge too far and bring down the wrath of some horrible creature or something, without stopping to think if they're actually doing something stupid. And the Archon just doesn't care, has given up on their country, etc.

Dain’s lines went from complete nonsense to completely understandable in one video, lol! IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE NOW and I am reaaaaady for Sumeru

This is likely the case, given how each region’s Archon Quests subtly link and hint to each other. Mondstadt’s Dvalin’s *forgotten freedom* is akin to a *contract* Liyue’s Archon’s *final contract* signifies their *eroded duty in the face of eternity* Inazuma’s chase for *eternity* could also be an *ignorant wisdom at the cost of its own people*

I had the bizarre idea of the Sumeru archon story being about how everyone just losing their memories of the existence of Sumeru, as a sort of protective mechanism by the Dendro archon to protect them from their own desire for knowledge

PuraNas are mythological stories of India. It is said that the stories were made to make vedic knowledge accessible to common folk via stories. The PuraNas are mostly Hindu mythology. The hindi word ''Purana'' you mentioned is a not a text, but just word that means old, the pronounciation is different. Thats why I marked it with a caps N. I enjoy your content quite well. Love from India. :)

I don't think the Dendro Archon had abandoned their people by letting them stew in the sea of blissful ignorance. It might be their way of protecting their people, just like how stagnation was Ei's idea of shielding the people of Inazuma from Celestia's inevitable wrath. Every Archon seemed to have their own idea of 'protection'. Venti lets himself remain weak, which is the price of freedom, and Rex Lapis stepped down from his post by faking his death in order to protect the people of Liyue from codependency towards their god. As for Dainsleif's narrative for Sumeru in Travail, I don't find it to be complicated at all. Once you met someone who seemed very intelligent but their words are based on air, highly biased and limited in terms of perspective but they insisted to have been the most knowledgable out there, it's easy to discern the difference between knowledge and wisdom, as it is with truly intelligent people and charlatans. That, I think, would be a theme that Genshin would explore in Sumeru, and it would be interesting if the Lesser Lord Kusanali (if she turns out to be the real Archon unlike the dupe Archon fan-theories) turns out to be a charlatan herself, and the biggest clown in her own circus there is.

Indeed, knowledge and wisdom are two different things. From the infos we have, it's safe to assume that things are not "good" in sumeru, since the more knowledge you have, the richer you are. I can imagine Dottore standing on a higher ground in sumeru just because he has more knowledge, even though what he's doing is totally evil.

Traveler: Alright dendro archon, tell me about my sister and celestia!!! Dendro Archon: I don't know anything. "Winck,Winck" claps with an eye

This is almost certainly the case, if you recall all the researching Sumerian NPCs we've encountered. The ones that believe in and research BS get encouraged and supported in their research (like Kaushik), whereas those that research into dangerous topics like the Irminsul fruits are under much more pressure to discourage them from continuing (like Hosseini).

Love how these videos get more and more interesting and I am so happy that the channel is doing so well now.

purana is a sanskrit word and it doesnt mean old , it means a sacred text written by maharshis or scholars of ancient india which has a ton of knowledge in them

Hmmm I don't really think knowledge being a holistic resource in Sumeru relates to it being traded for money - this sort of thing falls more in line with Patrice's dialogue from the vibrocrystal event, where he reveals that in Fontaine you need to basically market your research like a product on the market in hopes of attracting investment. Sumeru from what we can currently gather (dialogue with Khedive helped us especially) seems to just use knowledge and favors instead of wealth, like if Academia just had a disregard for money - Khedive even seems to suggest that it's vulgar and a humiliation to reward someone with mora, and quotes a saying "connections are far more precious than gold"

I think Collei will be a *big* key character in the Sumeru storyline. Not only because right now she's most likely uncer Cyno's wing, but also the archon residue sealed inside her and how the Fatui used her and other kids for that. On god, the archon residue seems like a big topic to touch upon, which is why I think we ended up in the delusion factory in Inazuma, as a way to make a crack on that shell before opening it. Looking back, it seems that way to me.

I read the title as age of calamity and was very confused about why Sumeru was in Zelda.

Bro you gotta sub to this guy I don't know how but every video that he makes just leaves wanting more

I think your explanation of Dainslief's comment on the affairs of Sumeru is very clear and spot on, and the primary conflict in my opinion between the traveler and the archon will be the debate of "Is ignorance and inaction really the solution?" I believe that its what they can do for now, but like all things its but a temporary solution that doesn't solve the root of the problem. Because even if Kusanali can keep them ignorant now, nothing lasts forever and eventually someone will do something even if its in vain. And there is irrefutable proof that Gods are not as powerful and omnipresent as we fear them to be, they just simply hold more knowledge and power and prevent those under them from learning the truth of their vaunerabilities. Similar to how a dictator rules, all that is required to take them down is to unify against them. Do nothing and the cycle will continue.

I wouldn't be surprised at this point if the people of Sumeru were much more dumb than the title of "wisdom" suggests. The archon herself though I'd be very surprised were she the same. She likely knows _exactly_ what she's doing by keeping her people in the dark. I am very much looking forward to meeting her.

Honestly if the idea of "truth and lie" is actually the plot of Sumeru and they don't mess it up in the end I would say the archon quest for Sumeru will be my top favorite out of the current quests in previous regions.

"There is a push for folly, Yet the god of wisdom makes no argument against it." maybe the god of wisdom doesnt argue against it because they WANT the push for foolishness, they don't want the truth to get out. Because if the truth did get out, conflict would start. So the said folly is perceived as the truth by the people, even though it really isn't. The god of wisdom is just making it seem like that, so the god doesn't argue against it. And when he said, "the oasis of knowledge is a mirage in the desert of ignorance." Again, the seemingly oasis of knowledge that the people believe is just a MIRAGE. Probably hinting that the said "oasis of knowlegde" is just an illusion or kinda like a lie of some sort, most likely created by the god of wisdom. And for the desert of ignorance part, well. We can also say that if sumeru is labeled as "The desert of *ignorance*" it must mean that the god of wisdom is LYING to its people. Sumeru is the nation known for its knowledge, but now it's labeled as the desert of ignorance? The god of wisdom knows the truth in something very important, yet its people know little to no knowledge about that said topic. But the "desert of ignorance" part is something I'm still trying to figure out.

I was thinking, they like comparing archons to slimes. if that's the case, I think kusinali will be killed. there's a theory that kusinali is not real archon so, to kill a dendro slime you need to burn its flower to reveal itself then I think kusinali is representing the flower. killing kusinal will reveal the real dendro archon. that's my thought. what do you think?

this whole theme of being kept in the dark always reminds me of Ella Musk. She's literally trying to communicate with hilichurls about their history. My gut feeling says that is probably not a good thing to do.

The lines of the Sheesroom shed some light onto Sumeru's problem, I guess

Your content always slaps omfg

Knowledge is knowing that tomatoes are a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put tomatoes in a fruit salad. Charisma is being able to sell a tomato-based fruit salad.

0:12 very unique flowers. one petal is light blue and the rest are white. i wonder why this flower has one petal of a different color.

The only mistake in this video so far is 'purana' actually is name of religious book in Hinduism. And I think it suits better since it says 'pages of purana' referring as its a book.

If the theory of the 7 nations goung through a cycle of destruction and recreation is correct could it be possible that all the nations who have 2 nd gen Archon have been destroyed and recreated alongside their Archon's dEath and the choosing of a new Archon?

I guess this is why we've seen people from Sumeru have us testing things that will help to build newer things: easier to research how best to use already made items in new ways that it would be to make new items.

let it be known that Kusanali is very likely to represent the one trait the Dendro Slime has: cowardice. its almost certain, Kusanali does nothing against that push for folly because she's well aware that its better to know nothing than to stand up against Celestia, which in a sense, is the coward's way out compared to the Tsaritsa.

Also a bit unrelated but i think i accidentally came across the actual quote from which the Sumeru Dainsleif quote was referenced from Maybe It's like " Our knowledge is a receding Mirage in the ever expanding desert of ignorance" Could just be a coincidence

I have once seen a video theorizing that Lesser Lord Kusanali might not be the Dendro archon at all, but just an impersonator, who basicly crowned himself after the cataclysm, in which the actual archon (most likely Baizhu), got heavily wounded and is not able to do his duties as the archon. As evidence it lists like the fact that Kusanali is the god of flowers, but not of Dendro (Tree), the weird title, Baizhu's character design and name and some real world similarities. Since then I can not forget this theory and am heavily believing in it.

Holy frick Just going ahead and making sense of this Incredible job man, enjoyable content and wonderful theories

Purana in this context (or The Puranas) are actually ancient hindu mythology texts and its like an enclyopedia talking about various and diverse topics like cosmology, genealogies of gods and goddesses, sagas,kings heroes medicine grammar etc I also think the purana mentioned in the sumeru chapter title can refer to the truth of this world, or how the world was before the primordial one and maybe even revealing about the unified civilisation whose architectural ruins we see all over teyvat even 🤔

I also want to add the villain of the arc, probably Dottore, fits in perfectly with this. A man hell bent on research that actively ignores any ethical issues that arises from his work. Dangers of acquiring knowledge, willfully ignored. He is the extreme of the flaws within Sumeru.

Cyno , anubis jackal inspired character.

Enkanomiya wasn’t submerged into the abyss for knowing the truth

love this guy

you'll definitely get more than 150k subs this year with your content bro.

Your interpretation is very interesting... now I'm really hyped for Sumeru

I've been a long timer subscriber, but this is one of your best videos/theories. Great job!

Ngl Teyvat historia and Island is my favorite theory channel

Purana means old in hindi, but here it references to Sanskrit word 'Purana' which are religious texts/books from India.😅

since i started the game sumeru is the region ive wanted to go to the most. i already understood what dainsleif meant, but this was still a fun watch

could be and sure do that knowledge and wisdom are 2 very different things that can be connected to each other as well and yes knowledge can bring disasters , wisdom can help avert them , interesting theory that could be really close to home

I wonder if we will get any more info about and/or from Lisa during the Sumeru chapter of our journey, she seems to know so much more than she let's on. Also keep up the good work!

really good lore vids

I wonder if “knowledge as a commodity” will take form of knowledge or information or “data” gained from the ley line trees. Landmarks like the tree in Windrise, Azhdaha’s remains, and the Great Sakura Tree all account in some shape or form the ecosystem of its respective region. But after Raiden Shogun’s quest regarding Leylines holding “memories”, I wonder if the “knowledge” in Sumeru is going to take form of something akin to apples, warranting biblical references.

Teyvat Historia: But First-- SKIPS 60 SECS

For some reason i remembered a saying from a joke i saw on the internet "knowledge is knowing that tomatos are fruit wisdom is to not put it in a fruit salad" i mean i feel this saying dispite being a part of a joke shows clearly the diffrence between knowledge and wisdom just because tomatos are fruit it doese'nt make it a good idea to put it in a fruit salad and the same thing in sumeru just because something is true does'nt make it a good idea to spread it because if the people knew too much their nation will be destroyed

Truth amongst the pages of purana is probably gonna have a huge lore dump. One that will directly come from someone incredibly familiar with the atrocities of Celestia. My guess? The Dendro Archon.

Inazuma was hype though. I really enjoyed all of the Raiden Shogun's stories and seeing her character development. But its definitely time for a new focus. Hey TH Bruh! 😆

Considering that we’re seeing a lot of desert themes mixed in with the Dendro theming, do you believe that the Mare Jivari would be considered as the later content for Sumeru?

i also imagine that in sumeru, people (maybe even dendro archon as well) are not actively against the fatui, but instead are openly cooperating w them bc they know of the tsaritsa's true intentions to go against celestia and they support this. this could be the "push for folly" as well. i think we'll find out a lot abt the cataclysm and celestia in sumeru since their previous archon literally died bc of it

Travail means labor in french and the whole story is the traveler doing intense labor in return for info or help to find their sibling.

If I tranlated abyss words correctly it says in latin: "Sub floreis lumen sagacitatis" . Translated into english it tells this :" Under the flowery light of flair". Not sure if it means anything, but...

Yessss nore theory vidss

Honestly I believe that we will set those kept secrets free and doom the nation just as we did with inazuma. Since now inazuma is also exposed to the threat of the cycle of destruction because of us. And with all those hints about paimon betraying us, I feel like someone or maybe paimon her self will be taken or forced to leave in search of knowledge of something. Just in general I think sumeru is where we will learn a little about paimons past.

always a good day when you upload!

Your videos always look amazing

So basically Sumeru nobles are like the Illuminati.

I'm calling it now: Kusanali will have a Jafar/Wormtongue type vizier talking in their ear that's manipulating the political landscape in Sumeru for their own benefit. He/she will be either aligned with the Fatui or the Abyss. Kusanali is likely under some sort of duress or spell (like king Theoden was) to explain how they are so easily duped.

It's ironic that sumeru is a desert yet the archon is a tree hippy.

hmm i heard of a theory where Lisa knows the secrets of teyvat and also knows about the 1st and 2nd who came that's why she has limited time here in teyvat cause she was cursed or something

Awesome video!

I think the best theory I saw was catwithabluehat which went over how they think Sumeru will be ruled.

Teyvat I would just like you to know that no matter what happens I will forever love your account, your streams and your videos. If one day you stop posting genshin, I will still support you. If you stop streaming, I’ll just watch your old streams and continue to support your new videos. Even if I’m late to your videos- I’ll still watch them eventually. I’ll like them and comment in a hope that it helps:) I’m so glad you reached your sub goal and I’m so glad I’m one of those subs! Idk why I’m talking like it’s the end in this video bsisbdsish Anyway cyno hot fr‼️‼️

I always wondered what those words underneath the title of the arcs

Whenever Sumeru is mentioned I cannot help but to think back to the theory about Baizhu being the former Dendro archon (god of the forest)

omg IM EARLY HELLO

I wanna know about Lisa’s past with sumeru :((

Man I can't wait for Sumeru

I wonder what Chasm part 2 will reveal.

interesting theory! thnx for the video

Theirs a video a cat's with a blue hat with recent NPCs that some says that food is much expensive in Sumeru, it took one meals worth just to buy a Kamera, but in other nations Kamera is very cheap to purchase. One of the resources, where Connections to possibly a powerful individual or a team, apparently connections are valuable tham wealth itself amd also Sumeru scholars can research anything they want but anything related to Khanreia'h nor Celestia are prohibited.

I have a feeling that the dendro archon is going to die again. I've seen a lot of videogames kill deities that have the color green and are related to knowledge, wisdom, balance, peace, or harmony. The gnosis itself is key to maintaining the life of an archon, and the Fatui are after the gnoses, which means that if it gets taken away, the real archon holding it will die. We don't know how the archon looks like, or their identity besides of the name Lesser Lord Kussanali, which could imply there's a higher being we don't know of.

Idk why but i feel like sumeru will have some kinda internal turmoil, like as we know, sumeru is two region, raiforest(ancient india most probably) and desert(egypt most likely) and i think the people living in the desert still havent forgotten the old dendro archon and still worship him/her, while the rainforest people accepted what happened to the old archon and now worship lesser god kusunali, alsoooo, the god of wisdom's enemy is wisdom itself, i think it signifies that she is tryna win over great scholars(who are way smarter than the rainforest ones but live in desert) and i think fatui gonna try take advantage of it, and as liben in the new event said, sumeru is in danger, i think thats what gonna happen i might be wrong, but who knows, none of my theory were never right anyways

Makes perfect sense!

Im wondering if Sumeru will also be sealed off to early game players (like Inazuma) when it arrives. XD that would be such a pain for them.

So like how I see it is Celestia doesn't want people knowing the truth of tevat and once someone gets to close to the truth they put a stop to it? Kinda if that makes sense and sense people in Sumeru know a lot and are knowledgable about things if someone where to get to close to finding out the truth then Celestia puts a stop to it so if the god of Sumeru kinda trys to protect there people by not letting people get to far into finding out the truth so ignorance would be better Idk if that made any sense but I tried

THIS IS ACTUALLY TRUE OMGG

After reading Fahrenheit 451 I wonder if Sumeru will be similar. Knowledge comes at a price, but what happens when the people don't want to pay that price anymore? Knowledge loses its value.

*spoiler* . . . . . . . . I thought Byakuyakoku sunk into the abyss as a result of the conflict between the primordial one and the second who came? I don’t think they were sunk for knowing the truth.

i feel like china and sumeru very similiar because of the current situation

Wow did you major in philosophy? Very Vedantic (not pedantic) as well.

Imagine if when kusinali sees us they mistake is for our abyss twin lol

Who is god of wisdom Greater lord rukkhadevatha or lesser lord kusanole

Good vid

Yesss

JENSHIN IMPACT

anyone else tired of the child is somehow smarter than the most distinguished scholars trope?

Idk how you do this teyvat it’s like magic

"ignorance is bliss"

"Knowledge is not wisdom" how many prn videos will you need to watch to know how sx is?

I'm sorry but 5:58 after watching it for a few seconds, i can't help but laugh.

i don't actually buy the idea that the snake was killed over his knowledge, for one he was not killed while defending, he was killed while attacking, and the idea that he knew celestia so seek to get himself killed make no sense as if could had done so without involving the army and getting his own people killed. one thing that is clear is that the records in the game are not always accurate or truthful. even if the snake did know the truth, his death is accidental and not related to knowing, because by now it should be clear that quite alot of people already knew the truth, if celestia doesn't move against the fatui, why would they move against the snake that has far less power? the way i see it is the snake share the fact with his subject, and the subject use this as an excuse to say they didn't get the snake killed with their unreasonable request to make war with raiden shogun to grab more territory, so they blame it on celestia.

😘

Lol i thought it was written edgy in thumbnail
