Where have I heard that one before?

In the new Vermillion set we learn some history from a very long time ago. We don't often get these but when you hear about stuff that happened when Zhongli was just a wee little Geo Daddy it's definitely time to pay attention.

So sun chariot. Where have we heard that one before?

It's creator is actually somebody I talked about before in relation to Kusanali and Sumeru about what Teyvat had in store for us.


Aberaku is actually just a Japanified version of the demon named Abraxas like Kurisu for Chris.


But wait am I trying to imply that there's a Dainichi Mikoshi somewhere in Liyue? No. Am I suggesting that the Dainichi Mikoshi was actually made in Liyue and then brought to Enkanomiya by Istaroth? No. The Dainichi Mikoshi isn't this sun chariot. We actually know that for a fact because it's artificial and Abrax just wanted to call it the sun chariot.


On the other hand a sun chariot that existed all the way back when Zhongli was only a Haeres Lapis (that's Prince of Stone fyi) is likely legit and since humans were able to witness and interact with it we can guess that it took place during the unified human civilization period.


We learn about this period from the Tiara Artifacts.


More specifically as you can read the sun chariot fell to Teyvat at the same time the moon sisters died. (and when that happened their moon carriage was also overturned and I found that amusing ) We know the deaths of the sisters happened whenever the Seelies all withered away.


Based on my theory on this (and also how some stories claim the sun chariot just shot itself back up into the sky) I have a feeling the sun chariot is Phanes or that he was using a sun chariot to travel to and from Teyvat. Instead of just crashing what if it was shot down by the Archon Phanes was fighting against at the time?


There is a theory that the Seelies withered and the moon sisters died when the second throne of heaven came. But I don't think that's possible.


Here's a cut from the Byakuyakoku Collection:

So we can see that when the defeated Archons fled to the Dark Sea happened long before the Second Who Came. In my theory I said that the Seelies might be withered Archons and since the Seelie's old home was the Dark Sea and that's also where the defeated Archons of the Archon War fled to it stands to reason the deaths of Aria, Sonnet and Canon along with the downfall of the Seelie nation were all part of the Archon War. (I know that's going to rub so many people the wrong way.)


But what about the timeline? If I'm claiming that the sun chariot fell during the unified human period then how can I also claim that it's happening during the Archon War? That's when we had our 7 nations right?


Well that's my newer theory based on the newest information we've gotten from the Chasm. It turns out the old unified civilization might have existed all the way into the Archon War. We can guess this because a member of that ancient civilization wrote a poem referencing Barbatos an Archon that only rose to power 2600 years ago which is long after other nations like Liyue had already been established.


What this means is that we might have a clearer image of the timeline. Which I'll get to eventually.
