These two pages that Mabel flashes on the screen for an instant talk about the Ancient
Greeks.
The text on the pages say:
"The greeks are a wonderful culture with many different gods and myths. Hercules, Narcissus,
and Achilles are all myths that are retold to this day and have relevance in our current
society. Themes of love, hate, betrayal, and arrogance populate stories from this time.
But there have been lost stories as well; forgotten by the sand of time. Including:
the story of a peasant named Domiclese, a shepherd who angered the gods with his hubris.
When the gods turned their focus to Domiclese, they discovered that not only was Domiclese
a shepherd, he was also secretly a robot who could fire lasers out of his face. When Domiclese
melted Apollo and Mercury with his "laser face" it signaled the beginning of "The Great
Robot War." The robots eventually overthrew the pantheon and established a "New Robot
Order." The robots forced the humans underground for years to toil in their underground mines
to find igneous rocks, whichrobots [sic] eat to gain power. The greeks hated and feared
their new robot oppressors, but stood firm against them in combat. The greek people formed
a "trojan horse" to dupe the foolish metal ones into allowing the humans to overtake
their robo future-castle. Even though they were driven out, these mechanical beings did
not despair. The robots beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the
past."
This could be nothing but jokey filler text, but I'm apt to believe that it's something
more. The Great Robot War seems feasible - especially when driven by mechanical creatures designed
by old man mcgucket. But the last line is the most chilling - it seems like each time
the robots are defeated by humanity, they travel further into the past to try to alter
history!
But what do you think? Are these pages just a joke, or do they warn of dangers we've yet
to see in Gravity Falls? Leave your theories and suggestions in the comments below!
