In the few days we have left before the next page drops, maybe we can intuit what some of these changes have been?
If that is a palace they are approaching, we can assume from the beheaded ginormous statue that a king–if not a dynasty–has been toppled. If it’s a temple, then a god has gotten the shove.
Anyone have a good read on what it means that the head of status still lays at the feet? Is there something extra contemptuous about leaving it in evidence instead of having it, say, pulverized? How about the fact that the rest of the statue still stands? Could whoever is in charge now have plans to install a new head up there? Are the lizard men too short in attention span to complete the task, and that was as much effort as could be squeezed out of them?
Someone came in and took over? Interesting. I smell plot! The headless statue is a nice touch. It suggests very focussed violence, mostly centered on their cultural expectations.
I admire Alice’s ability to sight-see while avoiding the person who seems to have taken the O-3 over. Well done her.
There’s always a child looking after the livestock with their foot on a fence rail watching the show. I’m sure if the critters didn’t need fencing, they’d still make a small portion so that a person could do that without having to find a rock or a tree something.
I meant the idea that Alice can topple the patriarchy of the Anglican church and marry God/Christ (it gets more confusing with a religion that recognizes the Trinity than a straight forward pagan religion). That would be considered a blasphemy by near to all sides of the Christian faith, including several that condemn each other.
I assume you weren’t having her try that, if she ever returns to England or even and Episcopal Commonwealth nation.
I believe the word is actually spelled pagan. Interesting how there’s a palace and also woven huts.
They could be hide-covered huts. It’s hard to tell from this distance.
I like HumalaDuck’s idea. Number One, Make it so!
You hear that, guys? I’m calling the shots now! Hold my tea…
Next Scene: Alice gets a flamethrower
Scene After That: Ashes. Nothing but ashes.
Now we’re talkin’!
My comment was really interesting that there were huts at all, given the stone construction and well-built howdah.
How about… ummm… set dressing?
They’ve had a very interesting history filled with ups and downs and a very strongly divided class structure.
That makes some sense.

FYI, Pagan has two A’s.
PS: Really appreciate the eight-legged Rhino-ceratops thingies. Stirs a longing to binge watch Herculoids.

I think if those Herculoid Tundro critters wants to knock down that fence, nothing on Unearth could stop them.
My aunt had a cow who’d get though the electric fence somehow. So I believe that.
And even if that where’ true, there’s nothing that kid can do to stop them.
He’s just getting used to the critters and them him.
Hey, maybe the fence is to keep the child penned, not the critter.
Maybe it’s a metaphorical fence?
Or just a really firm suggestion.
And the seed of blasphemy may have been planted in Alice’s head.
Seed of Blasphemy. OK. So what grows from the seed? Wait. Am I supposed to know the answer to that?

Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m so full of food I can barely type 😉 Hope yours is equally excessive!
