So I’ve got an interesting theory.

This being that lives in a sandstorm, I think it generates a sandstorm around itself. The astronauts called it “death”, and think that it once destroyed all life on that planet.

It is clearly not a coincidence that Fitz’s ancient scroll said the exact same thing: “death”! I think the maker of that scroll knew exactly what was on the other side of the monolith. 😮

Here’s my theory: long ago, this being came to that planet and started devouring all life. Someone found / developed a way to escape … to earth. Somehow they created that monolith, either in getting here or after. But they knew that if that being didn’t get fed, it would come looking for more food … and Earth would be the next planet consumed! * 😮

So they set up a system where people would be periodically “sacrificed” by sending them through the monolith. They entrusted a secret few with this information, who would pass the tradition down though the ages. And they did, people have been sent there all through history, even since biblical times judging by the Hebrew scroll! And maybe even before that, who knows?

And however NASA got hold of it, someone there was in the know, and made sure to feed four astronauts to it!!! 😮

A slight variation of this theory is that the monolith was used to banish that being in the first place, by sending it there from Earth. But that doesn’t explain how it got here in the first place, or who made the monolith. So I’m less clear on this version of the theory.

Anyway, I don’t know how any of this relates to inhumans, or what aliens were involved in the history. Was it the Kree, or someone else?!?

SFG

* Oh, I just reminded myself of Doctor Who’s “Planet of the Dead”! 😆
