A peculiar thing about the Witness' Pyramid from the raid, that I've been thinking about since the moment we got in there, is the placement of the Darkness veiled statue, aka The Woman:

She's tucked away in a very secluded room, which also serves as a room for the secret chest. The statue also doesn't have a pedestal behind it and it's also the only one that doesn't whisper. It feels like it's been deliberately moved out of the way and stripped of importance/power. It's interesting that they made sure we see that there IS a statue in the Pyramid, but that it's not at the same level of prominence as with other Pyramids.

Interestingly enough, as you go further in through the raid, you can find the pedestal it's supposed to be on, at the start of the jumping puzzle:

How do we know this is the pedestal? Well, the same pedestal is used to prop up a Darkness statue in the Europan Pyramid:

I wonder if this is symbolising just how on its own the Witness is when it comes to the structure of Darkness and telling us that this shift happened at some point down the line and wasn't like that from the start. The implication is that the statue was in a proper place on a pedestal until at some point, when it was moved to what is essentially a back room.

The symbology of the statue is also still unclear, but very interesting in this context. Other statues are in central or somehow important places in their respective Pyramids and other environments (Black Garden (in Garden of Salvation raid), Lunar Pyramid, Europan Pyramid and Clarity Control in DSC). They all whisper (except the Witness') and one of them is bigger and also moves (Clarity Control in DSC). Clarity Control statue was also what directed Clovis to the creation of the Exos and spoke to him as a Darkness agent.

The statue may be the original primordial personification of Darkness or the Winnower. Something the Witness came from, but learned to overpower or push aside for its own agenda. That's what the suggestion seems to be, although it's incredibly difficult to say before we know more about the Witness itself. Another intriguing point is that Rhulk's Pyramid is the only one without the statue (that we know of; obviously it's a big place, but if the statue exists, it's nowhere near being as prominent as in others).

Super interesting that they took the time to put the statue in there anyway and also show us the pedestal. It feels like there's a point to be made here, told through the environment of the Pyramid. I'm very excited to see if the statue will ever get some sort of full explanation.

baby cats very cute
