As of now, this is hosted in a server; it will probably relocate, but if you'd like the server address, please message me. I don't intend to advertise here.

I wanted to create something expansive with its own lore. A study of Sumerian mythology brought me to Ereshkigal, an underworld deity whose palace was made of lapis, and that led me to create Eresh, an adaptation representing death, void, and water. This "temple" began as a tribute to that. I moved to the most remote underwater location on the server and began building this. Since we're not allowed to use command blocks, the redstone work has been intensive, but I've become more familiar with the resource as a result.

Mob rooms, puzzles, and parkour all factor significantly in the design. I wanted to create a challenge and a risk with this temple, and I wanted the temple to punish you for incorrect answers or for failed attempts; it can be time-consuming and tedious, but the playtesters have all told me they've enjoyed it immensely.

Redstone help is appreciated I've been working hard, but there are some design flaws leftover, as the guy who was originally working with the redstone left. Some of the puzzles are comparator-based, and unfortunately, many of those have broken down over time.

I've been working on this on and off (mostly on) for about seven months. I rack my brain over the details, and I try to keep the temple a secret from the server, mostly to preserve the intrigue of discovering it.

Oh, you mean the first hub room?
Those are actually cuneiform symbols. The wave-like symbols mean "water" and the others mean "head".
