DESIGN

Unlike the other known prophecy discs, this one was crafted from wood and partially painted with red pigment, though most of the engravings remain in their original coloration. It also contains the “AW” logo at its centre, surrounded by exactly fifteen depictions of drones, which appear to be purely decorative and likely do not require closer attention.

What does require attention, however, are the remaining engravings. Beginning with the central strip, we see a scene depicting a meteorite strike, believed to have destroyed the settlements of the Ancient Walkers along with most of their inhabitants. Fragments of the city are even shown at the bottom of the disc, beneath the rain of falling meteorites.

On the left-hand side, from top to bottom, the first image shows a factory polluting the air — an unmistakable reference to environmental decline familiar in the present day. Beneath this engraving, researchers identified a sequence of binary code. When translated, it corresponds to the designation “#28300,” the identifier later associated with Lily Cadieux herself. While the connection remains debated, its presence adds another layer of intrigue to the artifact.

Although the factory motif might appear to be a simple prediction of the future, it is astonishing in its accuracy, considering it was envisioned by people who, according to current knowledge, should barely have been capable of working metal.

The next engraving depicts a pair of unidentified eyes, probably added as a stylistic detail. Following this, we see a scene of confirmed historical importance: the use of a set of seven mirrors and a blue laser pointer by Cadieux to demonstrate that the rock formations discovered in France — and at seven other locations around the world — align precisely with the sharp edges of the “AW” emblem.

The final engraving on this side portrays Lily, masked, standing in a corridor of the Château de Fontainebleau. At the very bottom left, part of the Heading Home painting is also visible, from which #28300 was able to extract one of the key clues later used in her discovery. Three Walkers — masked and robed — are shown on either side of the disc’s central section, though these figures are thought to be no more than decorative.

Turning to the lower portion on the right-hand side, we see five drones flying across the sky and a telescope protruding from a tree. According to researchers, this represents the moment when the Ancient Walkers first observed the approaching meteorites.

Moving upward, another scene shows a figure travelling by boat, observed by four others from the shore.

Finally, in the upper right section of the disc, we see the second major discovery made by Lily concerning the Ancient Walkers — the Sơn Đoòng Monument, found deep within the Hang Sơn Đoòng Cave in regions long avoided by the local population. The monument itself, however, has remained shrouded in mystery ever since.

THE PROPHECY

Analysis of the disk has led researchers to a surprising conclusion. The first disk seemed to be merely a figment of human imagination, but the second disk confirms that the Ancients were capable of predicting the future with astonishing accuracy. For example, predicting who would discover their legacy thousands of years later.

Or perhaps it's just a high-quality hoax?

It turns out we truly underestimated our ancestors and are rewriting history books every day.

SON DOONG MONUMENT

In time, it was revealed that the disk also has a larger, monumental counterpart, which lay hidden for thousands of years beneath the Vietnamese jungle, deep within the Hang Sơn Đoòng Cave. Over the centuries, it became overgrown with wild vegetation, gradually blending into the natural landscape of the cavern.
