Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.12,0:02:40.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Mainly because there are\Na lot of perceived flaws in the theory.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.25,0:04:31.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are several\Nproblems with this theory,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.31,0:04:33.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the biggest one\Nbeing the lack of evidence.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.40,0:04:36.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A lot of the evidence that\NMatPat will present in this video

Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.11,0:04:51.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and a few bigger ones as well...\Nwith the biggest hole being that

Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.22,0:04:59.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Let's start with MatPat's first argument:
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.47,0:05:03.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The higher being tablets in the King's \NPass, which all begin with the phrase,

Dialogue: 0,0:05:06.63,0:05:08.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,These tablets are very mysterious,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.60,0:05:11.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I don't think that there is\Nreally a consensus on what they mean.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:11.84,0:05:15.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One theory I see a lot is that these\Ntablets were left here for the vessels,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:15.80,0:05:17.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as a way to teach them how to focus SOUL.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:18.15,0:05:22.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But then why did the Pale King leave a\Nlore tablet like this in the Ancient Basin
Dialogue: 0,0:05:22.02,0:05:23.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or the Howling Cliffs?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.57,0:05:26.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They don't contain information\Nthat would be pertinent to them,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:26.53,0:05:29.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and some of these tablets seem\Nto predate the creation of the vessels.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.89,0:05:32.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Another theory is that\Nthe tablets are addressed to the bugs
Dialogue: 0,0:05:32.71,0:05:35.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that were granted higher thought\Nthrough the Pale King's beacon.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.42,0:05:40.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The problem with that theory is that the\Ntablets teach you how to focus SOUL,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.04,0:05:42.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which doesn't seem to be\Na thing that regular bugs can do.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.00,0:05:44.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,At least, not easily.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.89,0:05:47.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Personally I believe this\Nexplanation is the correct one,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:47.72,0:05:50.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but my thoughts\Non it are super speculative.

Dialogue: 0,0:05:53.20,0:05:56.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So yeah, these tablets\Nare quite mysterious indeed.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:56.32,0:05:57.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But for MatPat's argument,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:57.72,0:06:00.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all that really matters\Nis the fact that the Knight can read them,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:00.85,0:06:04.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even though they are stated\Nas being intended for only higher beings.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.89,0:06:08.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,MatPat explains that\Nhigher beings are godlike creatures,

Dialogue: 0,0:06:31.28,0:06:34.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, MatPat does say\N"pretty much every other creature,"
Dialogue: 0,0:06:34.75,0:06:36.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I can't say he's wrong,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:36.40,0:06:39.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but there are examples of\Ncreatures that can manipulate SOUL
