Dear editors: blink twice if MatPat has captured you and forced you to accept ancient builder lore
No
MatPat should do a theory on Color or Die roblox. What should I post? Y’all need to stop hating
Wow three minutes then boom! Minecraft😮
@@IAmJustAPersonLol no.
We will save you
It’s amazing how MatPat can make a theory out of pottery sherds and armor trims
it's called bullshitting
Theorist skills level 100 lol
And the fact that it all makes perfect sense is wild too
The literal point of these pots is lore
@@davisrangerreal
10:30 The "potion" could easily be a water bottle for carrying water out of the well. Using this for transport would be a big thing for a desert nation development and would make sense to be put up on a pottery vase.
Yeah but considering every other shard and the way it potentially ties in, it isn’t impossible to rule out the bottles being either. The wither engravement is undeniable, you HAVE to go to the nether to make a wither, and wither skeletons only also spawn in nether fortresses, so it’s only fair to say they also came across blazes and therefore blaze rods. Regardless of whether the shard is water or a potion, they had to have come across the materials needed to create potions, so if could reasonably represent both.
Its called the "brewer pottery sherd" so it definitely has to do with potions.
its called the "brewer sherd" so im pretty sure its a potion
I really like this theory but I think its more realistic if it wasn't the warden itself that emerged from the portal, but something that started the skulk infection on a smaller scale. in my mind the warden was created by the skulk after it had grown for a long while and became more powerful
The thing is in the disc u find in the city, it has a part where we hear someone running with wither sounds in the background, then a portel opening sound, and a warden streak and the sound Of the death of the wither, So with this disc we can say the wither followed them into their hidden city, and they opened the portal to escape but then the warden came. And killed this one greatest enemy, and that is where this civilisation ended.
My theory is that the cities were constructed not too long after the colonization of the nether and they were finding new dimensions. They opened this one and were attacked by the warden, escaped and closed the portal. They also might have erased how they opened it considering your player doesn’t know how to open it. The skulk got out too and they adapted their city to better fit the new threat with the redstone experiments to better understand the skulk and the usage of it in the towers. Plus the wool does seem out of place in some areas. The skulk served as a great exp source for their expanding magic, but they still eventually were devoured by the skulk and the cities abandoned. Later the pillager scouts found the city and were killed, hence the pillager-styled dark oak bridges that repair some old bridges and the tent or two, along with the dark oak towers.
there are patches of skulk that have no ancient cities.
both theories make sense to me

I am also convinced Mojang adds new, random things and then just watch Matpat's videos and say: "Mhm, that's what we were planning all along"
I agree, MC Dev’s don’t have enough sleep for making definitive lore
or watch him and say wait thats not what we wanted to say
And then they update the game with new things that dont disprove him and/or reinforce his theories. They are probably basing new lore off of MatPat's videos
@@whereismycup For sure, making one mob and a new tree variant must be really exhausting.

I love how Minecraft can be both relaxing and somewhat intense depending on play style and difficulty settings (including survival vs creative modes)
Especially when you're alone in a cave and that scary echoing music starts playing 😂
And a Hardcore player VS. Peaceful survival player
Yeah I play completely in Creative since I flipping suck at fighting mobs. And if I play on Survival it's with Peaceful mode.

These theories are never gonna be the same without pat. I feel like his voice Carrie’s this channel lol.
No duh it’s his own Channel
Nah
It won't be the same, but hey, change isn't always bad I'm gonna miss matpat, but it'll be cool to see where the channel goes even if it's sad
Agreed, his personality and speech bring excitable energy to his theories. You can tell he enjoys making them and has a passion for deciphering lore. He will be missed. 😢
I like to think that the different types of villagers you can find in different biomes foreshadow the idea of different ancient civilizations and their culture.
Hi
maybe
Or would to be aftershadow?
That actually makes sense fr
or they just adapt to their biome.
I like the possibilities that the storytelling approach of Minecraft can lead to: Imagine a scenario where a new player or old player that hasn’t played Minecraft in a while learned about how to get pottery sherds, then finds Mourner and wonders what its even depicting *then* stumbles upon the deep dark and learns the hard way.

3:23 Flashbacks to my first semesters in archaeology. This one is the ceramic, which showed my Professor the most. This year i was in Athens, i saw it in the Museum and was so extremly exited to see it in reallife.❤
Not sure why, but this theory especially near the end of the video sent a shiver down my spine. Love the lore that Mat is building for Minecraft.
The eyes can spell...
with more and more of the story becoming less vague, I can't help but wonder if Mojang is planning something serious. I don't know if I'd say they're going to reveal everything or anything like that, but I think something big is going to happen.
@@SirPogsalotCreates No yeah I agree. Ever since they revealed the nether update, I feel like they wanted to expand on their story on why certain creatures exist, why the nether and the end is accessible, and why certain abandoned structures are there. It's kind of cool and I'm hoping they make more ancient structures and possibly update the end dimension to help explain more about the ender dragon and more.
same I love his series
Matt Pat should read the Minecraft books, since it reveals certain lore pieces, such as the nature of the heart of ender, and “the nameless kingdom”. Hopefully he’ll also watch xatrix’s Minecraft theories, too!
The books for dungeons?
Oh god more books for MatPat to read for a video game theory
I'm highly certain that his team and him do read them and that's how they get their information.
@@davisrangerbook theory
yea in a lot of his videos on mc he mentions the mobestiary
Is it possible that the sand peiple (the ones who went to the nether for potions) went to the end also since in The End City you see a boat that's literally floating and inside it, what do you have? A brewing stand with potions!
I think it might be more plausible that a mix match of different builder from different civilizations escaped to the end and pooled their resources to survive. Therefore ships (from a seafaring civilization) and things like potion brewing stands (seen in desert civilizations).
That’s interesting… An ancient pottery shard is literally called a sherd… Such an interesting word, though my phone recognizes it, it wants to correct me. I’m kinda curious where some things get their names… Some things have basic names, some strange, some interesting, some possibly not fitting… This is definitely one of the interesting ones.
One small but interesting thing I’ve noticed is that Wither skeletons and Endermen are both taller than the player, suggesting they may have been related.
but Enderman are way taller and Wither skeletons are only slightly taller so that doesn't make any sense
@@cuddlecakes7153 The enderman through evolution grew taller while wither skeles are us just like how irl we have tall and short humans
@@lorddelta10maybe the wither skeleton is from the body of an individual during the period of evolution, they were already getting taller, and perhaps the chorus fruit has mutagenic properties that accelerated their evolution by exasperating common traits, giving us the freakishly tall endermen, but only slightly taller either skeletons.
There are two possibilities. 1. We downsized, compressed, became shorter. 2. They warped and became elongated.
@@yayeet1739enderman are 3 blocks tall, wither skeletons are 2 and a half
One of my theories of Minecraft is that there was not just a broad, secretive storyline we have to discover, there is a more linear path. Looking into the disc 11, it themes a singular man mining and running from a creeper. Again in disc 5, we see a single man being followed up by an army, and since we already know 5 is a conglomerate of other discs, then we know that one of the shards of the disc making it were recorded by a single person. There is a specific ancient builder that the Minecraft world is following, a certain someone I theorize to be the man who destroyed the entirety of civilization, I wonder who, perhaps the solo player we see fighting off the piglins in Legends, or the man who many believe to have led a civ to creating the wither, or perhaps the one who lights the portal in disc 5. There is something deeper going on than just the story of the old world, this is the story of the end of it, and who caused it. find my other comments
Oh yeah, that might be interesting, heřøþŕįņə
oh god it might just be an endless loop for that one(?) poor player(s) that got summoned by hosts imagine summoned over and over again and don't even got offered a ride home to your orignal world
sorry @@minestar2247, herobrine quitted his job and planning to leave internet for his sanity
5... 11... 13? Its like someones keeping track of recordings is it not? Could there be a timeline here we yet to discover? Matpat mentions the books and how there are documenters in the world of minecraft that seem to be around before our player but after the ancient builders have vanished. Could 5 have been the ancient builders while 11 and 13 are a documentor? Remember thats just a theory, A mini-theory.
Its possible that the disc maker figure may have been a merchant or explorer, or maybe the disc maker was another survivor or an archivist. I was going to say that it would make sense seeing discs are a relatively new invention but then the Trail Ruins kinda mess dating for Trail Ruins are where can find the new Relic Disc so Music Discs have existed since the Trail Ruin days.
We will miss you matpat thank you for making my childhood better😊
i have always believed that the shattered terrain is from the wither. with the savannah being one of the first shattered biomes, i think it ties in realll nice
EDIT: I am obviously aware that the snapshots with storage came out the week after I made this comment. @2:12 --imagine if the pots actually did hold things-- .... making me relive my second biggest disappointment about the pots, the first being they aren't dyeable
Same. Don't know why they included that in the video
i hate that you cant change the direction of the design after it's crafted. and you cant put flowers in it!!!! ehats the point! couldve been a way to display 2 block high flowers and plants. could have a long bamboo shoot too. but noooppppe
They do it now since the new snapshot! MatPat indeed knew something...
1.21 will have that
@@_Colti_ yep the snap came out right after this vid so apparently GT is psychic , now if only we could dye em lul
Incredibly interesting. We've always thought of the ancient builders as one mega-civilization, but that would be confusing since we know some of them got trapped in the End, some of them fell to the zombie plague, and some of them went down to build the ancient cities. This update clears that up.
This also explains why there are different types of villages
Hey Mat, I have an idea for a theory video. So recently i've been playing ace attorney justice for all and on the 2nd case you meet this girl called pearl. She is a little girl does not know much about the world outside of her village. During part of the game she helps you learn to pry secrets open using magic. After that your about to leave the village when she wishes you luck and says she's going to stay at the village. The next day as your getting ready for the trial, she appears saying she RAN to the courthouse from her village. Her village is 2 hours by train and she RAN. Not only that she says she found her way there by map, but she is a little girl how can she figure out where the courthouse assuming the courthouse is in the middle of the city.
Knowing how to make the wither, the builders were ready to make a beacon. That's why the upstairs is the perfect size to make a maxed out beacon. The precious materials that go underneath were likely stolen, leaving only the treasure they buried beneath to be found by the player
I was with this theory up until Mat said that the Warden came from the "portal." Considering the applications of Skulk and it's connection to redstone, plus the understanding that the denizens of the Ancient City seem to possess about how it operates (wool paths), strongly suggested that Skulk, and by proxy, the Warden, are a manmade defense. Wifies & Xatrix further outline this in their theory videos. Now that isn't to say that it isn't completely true or false, the material for the Skulk could've been acquired on the other side and used as a defense, but the Echo Shards & Catalyst would suggest against the possibility due to their implications towards soul magic.
As much as I feel this can make sense, I just feel there are a few things that you never mentioned support mats theory. 1. No other choice When you mention the sulk being used as a defense system it makes sense with the affects -mobs can’t spawn in city’s -a défense system créature that only used sound and smell(which makes sense because caves are normally darker and can echo sound better because it’s enclosed) Now what I about mats theory is that the builders that went underground just didn’t have any other choice then to stay, (assuming some of them survived the initial warden attack) because the whither is certain death they may have found it better to try and adapt and use the benefits of the sulks extraordinary defense. Now this is a bit contradicted by the fact the stronghold is underground, who’s to say they didn’t run from there underground city and construct the stronghold, a place so secure that the warden or sulk would never get them. Where they then had the chance to perfect there portal, and go into the end.
The eyes can spell....
I have heard a different theory that makes a lot of sense to me. It looks like illagers found the ancient cities before we did and were the ones to place wool and wood in the ancient cities. It does look like 2 different build styles kinda stuck together.
Yappin
Why. Skulk barely have connection with redstone
Pretty impressive that he manages to keep me weirdly entertained with this, though I feel like I need an annual recap or something I'm losing track
Same lol
Yeah they should make a yearly updated supercut
Been waiting for this video since the update launched. I never thought about the fact that ancient peoples would decorate their clothing and armor to represent their homeland.
Cool note: Mojang has released a ‘Biome Settlers’ skin pack for Education and Bedrock Edition. One of the desert settlers is called the desert brewer.
Anyone else want/need a chronological recap (maybe even a few hours long if need be) of all the Minecraft theroies? And I don't mean the videos in chronological order, but the lore. As we learn new things, we are also learning the past. So it kinda all gets mushed together. And I'd be very curious to see how certain things work together. For example, how does the Ancient Builders die and end up as zombies, skeletons, drowned, husks, AND the allay. And what about zombies specifically? They originate from both pillager experiments and from a desease that causes piglins to turn into zombiefied versions. These are a few examples that come to mind. There have been sooooooo many vidoes and learning both the far past and the recent past get mixed up. I also feel like it'd be a great recap just in general. Anyone else intrested?
Would like to point out matpat’s probably right about the trail ruins part for one very key reason, I restored one just to see what it could have looked like and one of the things that was part of the structure itself was what appeared to be a blue portal made of light blue glazed terracotta, almost like the ones the hosts used in Minecraft legends. Just food for thought
Restored the same structure myself. Didn't think of it as a portal, just some piece of art. Your take is interesting, though. Maybe restoring other structures will reveal more.
The eyes can spell
I think the trail ruins are the destroyed versions of the villages from Minecraft legends because the structures are similar with the random glazed colored blocks.
I wouldn't be so fast to say the warden only brought more pain, it protected them from the wither, and the wool paths plus the redstone alarm bells and everything indicates a symbiotic relationship.
It’s not a coincidence that a full beacon fits perfectly in the top of a desert temple
I think that the trail ruins have some connection to the villagers. You can find grindstones, Smithing tables, cartography tables, stone cutters etc. I'm just saying that all these blocks have designated villager professions.
It still astonishes me how MatPat has been able to find and deduce so much lore in a game like Minecraft
Yay I'm early
actually tho because how can soemone do so much digging on a single game alone 😭😭
just be insane xD
Him and his crew
Yeaa
6:21 bro really said:🗿
Another point why the desert was the first to go to the nether is because of the ruined portals being almost fully buried in deserts rather than in other biomes where they spawn mostly above ground
Taken for their hubris, looking to expand upon what they don't know, exploring the rifts created in both life and world and left to wither away as these monsters of daily life take over, while the weakest ones escape from their worlds and the strongest remain unknown we're only left to wander as we come to in this strange overlap.
If the desert civilization was the one to crate wither It becomes even more interesting, that you can perfectly fit a fully charged beacon in the upper room of the pyramid
You mean inside the Upper Room of the temple? Not on top.
makes sense that the beacon would be gone too, after all lots of old relics with gold or valuable pieces were found by archeologists with all the valuable parts gone
i really miss the old intro :( please bring it back... it was awesome. i just want to see it once again in a new theory
Yes.
Bes.
Des.
Wes
Hes
My theory for Minecraft Steve is that after when the ancient builders were attacked by the warden, Steve said enough and headed back up to the surface to make his own life.
I love uncovering the lore through in-game archeology
I wonder though, which ones went to the Deep Dark and had their fate sealed by the Warden, and which ones didn't delve as deep and instead found themselves in the End?
Probably the ones that just couldn’t get rid of all the Beetroot Seeds they had and put them in the End City.
I bet the End portal is partly made out of sculk though…
Minecraft story mode has mentioned a lore of an ancient civilization that once roamed the world. I find that interesting and I know this will get buried but I hope you see this and make a theory on it!
Yeah! I hope that he makes a theory on the game!
I think they don't make theories about Minecraft Story Mode because it was made by Telltale Games and not Mojang, thus making it not canon to the main game I guess...
@@octonine6212 I’m thinking more on the lines of that story mode is like an alternate reality that has similarities to the real Minecraft world. Like how the fnaf books aren’t directly canon but they share similarities.
@@thejurassicking3817 hmm... yeah, that kinda makes sense
Yeah the old builders for story mode and the ancient builders for the main minecraft its kinda funny minecraft is trying to almost be the next fnaf so we should prepare for matpats very soul to soon be consumed by minecraft at some point

5:21 hey thats me 😄 always enjoy your minecraft theories matpat:3
Hello!!!!!!!!!
YAY
Nice 👌 👍
No I believe that Withers used to be native to the nether until they were hunted to extinction which is why they need to be summoned but the constant wither fights warranted them building these giant fortresses but it also weakened the ancient builders for the final knockout which is the warden and the skulk which could be a type of fungus I suspect this gave them some type of illness that starts with the blindness
I need more of this, I need more Minecraft LORE like make a huge video of putting it all together from the Dawn of Minecraft’s creation to where it’s at now
10:22 gotta love the picture selected for this part of the video, the desert well, the structure made for the player to be able to collect water in the desert. at the side of a lake...
Lol i didn’t notice it like that 😂😂
Matpat. There is one thing I would ask you to explore and it’s the warden pottery sherds name “mourner” this could mean something very important when it relates to the more modern ancient cities.
I don’t know if anyone else has heard this, but some of the Warden’s growls sound sad, as if it doesn’t want to hunt things.
he did explain it however didnt go in depth enough with how it could relate to the city.
@@HungryWarden I was just thinking that after watching. They call it the mourner, we know it has souls in it's heart, We know the Skulk absorbs the souls of those it kills, we know the warden comes out of the skulk when summoned. It is also humanoid or at least shares an appearance/animation set with Iron golems. The warden is those who have died. Those who experimented with souls absorbed into the worst of their creations and tormented for it. Additional theory - The Endermen possibly being those who witnessed this tragedy, used what they could find in the skulk biome and escaped. It would explain how the end portal has white with *green/blue* hues with the portal itself having brighter specs inside like the skulk blocks do. The End portal uses technology created after visiting the skulk dimension and witnessing things teleport through it like the way the warden gets summoned.
@@BiohazardPsycho The Skulk is the true horror of the Deep Dark. The Warden is just an agent created by the Skulk using the tormented souls of the fallen. With how scary the Warden is, it's terrifying to imagine that there must be much worst lurking in the home dimension of the Skulk. The Warden isn't what came out of that portal. Something else did, and now those that died to it are used to create Wardens to defend the Skulk. We can only be grateful that the portals somehow closed and didn't make the outbreaks worse.

One thing i find not talked about, is how Sculc is a fungus. It spreads towards death, it is semi alive, it can interect with "electricity," it is sensitive to vibrations (real world plants are known to grow faster or slower if they hear certain music). The only difference is that sculc can collect souls.

Surely they could just make the blaze powder for the potions. Blazes are only found in fortresses which means they could be artificial creatures made to defend the fortresses that just don't recognise the player as an ally. So they probably just used what they eventually use to make the blaze's to make the potions.
Could be. Especially with how blazes make metal sounds when you strike them and sound more... mechanical anyways.
Imagine an update where the wither that killed the past civilizations could be found in a biome 50k blocks away from spawn and the biome is just riddled with blast marks and fire. And the worst part is that you may or may not find the wither there. Plus when you find it you need full enchants to even stand a chance
Finally! I've been waiting for a theory video featuring pottery sherds and armor trims ever since the first snapshots they were introduced in!

Since Mat likes this story of a fallen civilization he should make a theory about sky! That’s basically what the story is about if you explore enough.
OMG I’ve been wanting him to make a theory about this game for YEARS
You always make it easy to understand! Thank you. I would also like to request a video on some SIMS 4 lore! They just started adding lore to the Sims live streams. Some theories can definitely be made. :)

I love archaeology (but more on paleontology), and man, I wish my potato PC could handle not only the update, but also downloading Minecraft
Before Mat's theories on mincrafts lore, I had always considered minecraft storymodes story to be minecrafts lore. That being said, is anyone else noticing the parallels with ancient builders making portals into new worlds trying to escape a danger?
nah colonization of mars won't go wrong, i think.
It feels so weird to see a MatPat Minecraft theory since I just got back into Minecraft
I want more Minecraft theories! This is my favorite series and I often rewatch videos
Now that mat pat has announced his retirement from gt, this means that sadly thid is probably his very last minecraft lore video 😢
doesn't the portal in the ancient city kinda resemble Action, one of the three hosts? maybe it was a last call for help to the hosts after they summoned the wither
To me it just looks like the Warden, probably it was first seen as a god before it backfired
Wait you're kinda right... I always found it weird that it looked like a head but didn't look like the warden
Also notice how the mourner sherd is only found in cold oceans, the pirate civilisation somehow knew about the Warden before all others, or maybe they were the first to witness and survive to it...

Something i want to point out as a biology nerd, there are only two vertebrate mobs in the game that have six limbs. The sniffer and the ender dragon, similar to the monotremes on earth they lay eggs are likely the few survivors of a wider group of minecraft creatures. Relics of a ancient minecraft world before some sort of cataclysm wiped out civilization and natural life. Leaving the world empty, also explaining the many fossils, shells of nautilus, and the seaming lack of biodiversity in the minecraft world.

What about a theory of the armor trims? I think their designs say a lot about the history of the ancient builders and their connections to the Illagers.
I'm glad MatPat has finally concluded what I've theorized for years. There were multiple "ancient builders".
I really wanna keep digging into the lore it’s so mysterious yet so exciting
Distance is a game that definatly deserves a video on this channel the lore is really cool. it's a really underrated arcade racing game with platfroming, it's probably one of my favorite indie games now :)
The beacon shaped dome in the desert temple also backs up the theory that the ancient builders went to the nether, killed a wither and created a beacon
i love how i just learnt human evolution at school and this is just so cool and i know that matpat has put a lot of effort in reseaching and studying this theory

If the desert civs were so advanced, why are there wells alone in the desert? Maybe they were resting points as there are no Minecraft Oases.
Maybe in the lore (through not in the game obviously) there WERE oases but they've dried up since the Ancient Builders left and the wells are all that remains.
I feel the warden was left as a trap/defending against the wither. One thing the Wither does is make a lot of noise which it the wardens main way of sensing. All the sensors everywhere are early detection so the warden can be summoned before it gets to the city.
I was hoping you'd talk about the stuff found in the end as well, you related all the biomes besides that one. Future theory maybe?
If I could just get my dad into stuff like this, I think he would love all the lore that you've been finding. He's a HUGE fan of archeology!
I actually really like these theorys, and kinda implemented a bit of it into my own theory! And it's actually really fun to theorize lol!
Desert temples have blocks with creeper faces on them and that combined with skeleton/wither skeleton pottery gave me an idea. Wut if the desert civilization worshipped hostile mobs (cuz why else would they put creeper faces on their temples) and created Wither only to spread destruction instead of protecting them? Like they were some sort of a cult that wanted to bring the apocalypse to their world ig
please theorize about Ghasts, Monster Spawners and Blazes next (Blazes are interesting, as they cannot really be found naturally outside the nether fortresses, they must have to do with the ancient builders)
Week 1 of asking matpat to do a little nightmares theory
