Data dump for those of long attention span.
tl:dr is for posers.
I came across some info after coming across DKMU itself.
During my searches just going with the "flow" I found some interesting linkages.
Came across Elis, Greece while doing simple searches for the "Ellis" sigil:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elishttp://odysseus.culture.gr/h/3/eh351.jsp?obj_id=2400https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympia,_Greecehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elis_(regional_unit)
Started getting vibes....
Then hit this page:
http://www.thespiritscience.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1554"Looking at the Linking sigil, you
can see where the right side of it forms an E. The L, I, and S, should
all be quite obvious in it"
So yeah. Elis not Ellis?
Whats the deal with ancient Elis? Pretty badass history.
"In
classical antiquity, Elis was
an independent state, centred on the town Elis and included the sanctuary at
Olympia, where the
Ancient Olympic Games were held between 776 BC and 394 AD."
"The first
Olympic festival was organized in Elean land,
Olympia, Greece by the authorities of Elis in the 8th century BC, with tradition dating the first games at 776 BC."
"The local form of the name was
Valis, or Valeia, and its meaning, in all probability, “the lowland” (compare with the word "valley")."
Valis? now we got some Phillip Dick going on lol.
"Nowadays Elis is a small village of 150 citizens, located 14 km NE of
Amaliada, built over the ruins of the ancient town. It has a museum that contains treasures, discovered in various excavations. It also has one of the most well-preserved ancient theaters in Greece."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Olympic_Games"The Olympic games were held to be one of the two central rituals in
Ancient Greece, the other being the much older religious festival, the
Eleusinian Mysteries. The games started in Olympia, Greece, in a sanctuary site for the
Greek deities near the towns of Elis and
Pisa (both in
Elis on the peninsula of
Peloponnesos). The first games began as an annual foot race of young women in competition for the position of the priestess for the goddess,
Hera, and a second race was instituted for a consort for the priestess who would participate in the religious traditions at the temple.
The first ever "gold medal" winner was from Elis:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coroebus_of_Elis"
Coroebus of Elis, commonly spelled
Koroibos (
Greek: Κόροιβος Ἠλεῖος) was a humble Greek cook,
[1] baker
[2] and athlete from
Elis, who won the
stadion race in the first recorded
Ancient Olympic Games in 776 BC."
"The stadion race of the
Greeks seem to have been accurately recorded. The prize he received was an olive branch, though the honor of winning was far more prestigious than the actual prize."
Elis was a "neutral" meeting place. It had no government buildings, only temples to many gods. It was sacred ground:
"The traveler Pausanias (2nd century P.C.), refered to the capital of Ilia, by describing gymnasiums, lodges, temples and sanctums, but no public buildings.They were decorated by a number of statues and sculptures made by famous artists of ancient times. Among others there were situated the temple of Ourania Aphrodite and its golden ivory statue made by Fidias, as well as the ground shrine of Pandimou Aphrodite, where there is its well-known bronze statue, made by Scopas, the temple and the statue of Apollo Acesious, the temple of the Graces, with their edge-stones statues, the temple of Silinous and the complexion of the god with Methi."
"The peaceful existence which Elis led thereafter, its neutrality in the quarrels of the other Greek states, the “truce” and the designation of the country as sacred ground, were the cause of her prosperity and good laws"
"Strabo, Geography 8. 3. 12 (trans. Jones) (Greek geographer C1st B.C. to C1st A.D.) :
"The whole country [of Elis] is full of temples of Artemis, Aphrodite, and the Nymphai, being situated in sacred precincts that are generally full of flowers because of the abundance of water."
Also, the Alfeios river flows from Arcadia to Elis:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfeioshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Et_in_Arcadia_ego"The most important difference between the two versions is that in the latter version, one of the two shepherds recognizes the shadow of his companion on the tomb and circumscribes the silhouette with his finger. According to an ancient tradition (see Pliny the Elder, nat. Hist. XXXV 5, 15), this is the moment in which the art of painting is first discovered. Thus, the shepherd's shadow is the first image in art history. But the shadow on the tomb is also a symbol of death (in the first version symbolized by a skull on the top of the tomb). The meaning of this highly intricate composition seems to be that, from prehistory onward, the discovery of art has been the creative response of humankind to the shocking fact of mortality.
Thus, death’s claim to rule even Arcadia is challenged by art (symbolized by the beautifully dressed maiden), who must insist that she was discovered in Arcadia too, and that she is the legitimate ruler everywhere, whilst death only usurps its power.
In the face of death, art's duty—indeed, her raison d’être—is to recall absent loved ones, console anxieties, evoke and reconcile conflicting emotions, surmount isolation, and facilitate the expression of the unutterable."
Hell yeah.
Elis is the river's final destination.
So yeah....just some thoughts for everybody. This whole business is packed with meaning.
Somebody needs to pay a visit to the ancient Elis amphitheatre:
