אָמַר רַב קַטִּינָא: בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁהָיוּ יִשְׂרָאֵל עוֹלִין לָרֶגֶל, מְגַלְּלִין לָהֶם אֶת הַפָּרוֹכֶת, וּמַרְאִין לָהֶם אֶת הַכְּרוּבִים שֶׁהָיוּ מְעוֹרִים זֶה בָּזֶה, וְאוֹמְרִים לָהֶן: רָאוּ חִבַּתְכֶם לִפְנֵי הַמָּקוֹם כְּחִבַּת זָכָר וּנְקֵבָה.
Continuing the previous discussion, Rav Ketina said: When the Jewish people would ascend for one of the pilgrimage Festivals, the priests would roll up the curtain for them and show them the cherubs, which were clinging to one another, and say to them: See how you are beloved before God, like the love of a male and female. The two cherubs symbolize the Holy One, Blessed be He, and the Jewish people.
Yoma 54a:11
Popular depictions of the Aron HaBrit (Ark of the Covenent) depict the Kruvim as merely facing each-other, but actually.......they were engaged in sexual intercourse. It's unfortunate that Christian sex-negativity has impacted Jewish culture, too, because even I had no idea about this until I read a book about Jewish sex. As a queer trans man, the cisheteronormative nature in which sex is culturally depicted just doesn't sit right with me, so I depicted the Kruvim as a trans man and a trans woman. Queer sex is just as holy as cishet sex, and we are all beloved before Hashem.

Lancer lore about religions I completely made up:
During the Fall, the Ka'ba was hit by a direct nuclear strike.
In spite of this, after the founding of Union the Black Stone was encased in a transparent anti-radiation container and it became a site of pilgrimage once more.
In modern times, maktebas of the @albatross-lancer often dedicate part of their resources to transporting or escorting pilgrims to their nearest Blinkgate, and at least one, despite remaining secular, has dedicated itself almost entirely to this purpose.
Meanwhile, the search continues for the Temple of Jerusalem, as its historical location was found empty during the Little Wars and the few remaining records about it imply it was wholly dismantled and reassembled aboard the Moses; third of the Ten.
The notion that the Ark of the Covenant was found in the DIHYED Metavault or is hidden in a yet undiscovered one is just a conspiracy theory however.
Speaking of conspiracy theories, it's all but impossible to speak about the pyramids of Giza or ancient Egypt in general on the omninet without hordes of ancient alien believers ranting about how the hieroglyphs had predicted the Deimos Manifestation and the USB has been covering up the truth about ancient NHPs teaching the Egyptians how to build big stone triangles.

Amiens Cathedral might not be France’s most famous church, but it is one of its most beautiful. This 13th-century Gothic masterpiece is an architectural marvel.

Giant boulders, high-speed chases, lost cities, melting Nazis: it's enough to make you want to become an archaeologist!
In this week's episode of Deep Thoughts about Stupid Sh*t, @tguydecker and I pull apart the true, the toxic, the titillating, and the totally-not-okay in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.
