Ive talked about Teyvats ancient history a bunch of times but something still bothers me: Why did the moons fall, and WHEN? And if we can answer that question, can we use that information to figure out stuff like when Khaenriah was founded?
Well, heres my attempt at a more or less complete Ancient Teyvatian timeline!

Alice, Alice, Alice! Thats all anyone talks about when it comes to the Hexenzirkel, but shes not the only suspicious disembodied voice sending us cryptic messages from some unknown location! So with her latest appearance in the finale of Fontaines archon quest, I thought now would be a good time to revisit an old theory about her and see if we cant expand upon it.

![[4.3] Whats the deal with Zhongli? - A Genshin Impact Theory](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LXb-oJYQF7I/mqdefault.jpg "[4.3] Whats the deal with Zhongli? - A Genshin Impact Theory
With Lantern Rite coming up as well as a collaboration with the Sanxingdui Museum, I thought now would be a good time to revisit one of the oldest characters in Teyvat: Zhongli! Who is he? WHAT is he!? Is he a dragon? A shade of the Primordial One?? I think its time to investigate!
(Reuploaded to fix some egregious audio glitches that somehow made it through the review process.)
Cristal Marie (https://twitter.com/cristalmarie) provided a lot of information and observations referenced in this theory. Big thanks to her!
