The blue-eyed Templar zombies

[Dahniska]

What's up guys.

I'm playing Origins and I started pondering about the zombie models in this map. Now as most of you probably remember, back when the first Origins information was being revealed, one of the first things we were shown was the blue-eyed Templar zombie in the trailer. There seemed to be a lot of significance about this particular type of zombie.

Now that Origins has been out for over 6 months, I'm coming back to this. After spending countless hours playing Origins, I don't believe I've seen anything concrete to explain what the big deal about these zombies is. What we do know about them is that they only spawn in the excavation mound (where they seem to have been buried at some point), and in the tunnels that access the Crazy Place. This might hint that they are guarding the staffs/Agartha. But in-game I've seen nothing concrete to prove this beyond doubt. Also, I've seen no explanation for why their eye color is blue, as opposed to the white-eyed zombies in the Crazy Place or the yellow-eyed ones found everywhere else.

So that leads to the big question: Why did Treyarch emphasize these zombies so much before the map came out, but didn't leave us substantial clues in the actual map?

 

What significance do you guys think these zombies actually have? And why are their eyes blue?

[MysteryMachineX]

There's a note in Origins that shows the four heroes fighting in medieval times. (Hopefully someone else here has a picture of it handy.) Given the nature of the excavation site and the ancient tombs and runes underneath, I think it is fair to say that they are basically just really old reanimated corpses. (After all in Kino Nazis attacked 20 years after death).

 

The reason these zombies don't have yellow eyes is because it shows to the extent that Samantha is NOT in control this time. First, there are Agarthan zombies with white. In the cutscene, we don't see them at all. They're mysterious and blah blah. But we do first see the medieval blue-eyed zombies. Then it shows the infection spreading outwards, literally and physically in the form of German soldiers that are now yellow-eyed. It would seem that the yellow-ness is only applied to any "new" zombies that are formed. All the ones previously existing don't have yellow. So Samantha, being in Agartha, only has rudimentary power if anything.

 

So what is this blue then? Odds are that it is the default. We see pure 115 for the first time in Origins, and it is also blue. Therefore, it makes sense. We had previously believed yellow signified default/Samantha. Turns out blue signifies default/Richtofen.

Excellent explanation, MMX.

Are you referring to this image?

[MysteryMachineX]

Thanks Slade. And yes, Tac. Thank you.

[NinjaNick]

The thing is, those depicted on the note look diffrent from the Templars, Pherhaps there were many infections back there that were not dug up?

[AlphaSnake]

There is more to that picture than most people know:

 

 

Primis is a latin proverb meaning:

1. first and foremost; first of all; primarily

If you look carefully at the city in the back ground you can see Roman/Greek style building.

 

There is also another clue from way back in old Der Riese.

 

If the Panzerschreck becomes upgraded using the Pack-a-Punch machine in Der Riese, it becomes the "Longinus,"

 

The Holy Lance (German: Heilige Lanze), also known as the Holy Spear, Spear of Destiny, Lance of Longinus, or Spear of Longinus, is the name given to the lance that pierced the side of Jesus as he hung on the cross, according to the Gospel of John.

 

 

LONGIUS. Longinus, fl. first century A.D., a Roman centurion, pierced the side of Jesus with his sword as he hung on the cross, according to tradition. He subsequently became blind and was converted to Christianity, for which he suffered martyrdom (Legenda aurea XLVII).

 

Longius pierced Christ's heart and made his blood run down the spear.

 

This is why I wrote the story:

 

http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/forum/index.php/topic/157793-sepulcrum-immortuorum/

 

The skull was moved to the Temple mound in Jerusalem in the next chapter I have planned.

 

...

 

Jesus was crucified at Golgotha, or Calvary, outside of the
ancient city of Jerusalem.

 

I have said this some where else on Codz.

 

So we have a date & a location.

 

Jerusalem in first century AD.

 

In history a Zombie outbreak would have been seen as a plague, punishment from the gods for some reason.

 

This evidence is further compunded by the presents of the Templars & Teutonic knights of the crusades.

 

The Crusades were military campaigns sanctioned by the Latin Catholic Church during the High Middle Ages through to the end of the Late Middle Ages. In 1095 Pope Urban II proclaimed the first crusade, with the stated goal of restoring Christian access to the holy places in and near Jerusalem. Many historians and some of those involved at the time, like Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, give equal precedence to other papal-sanctioned military campaigns undertaken for a variety of religious, economic, and political reasons, such as the Albigensian Crusade, the Aragonese Crusade, the Reconquista, and the Northern Crusades.^[1] Following the first crusade there was an intermittent 200-year struggle for control of the Holy Land, with six more major crusades and numerous minor ones. In 1291, the conflict ended in failure with the fall of the last Christian stronghold in the Holy Land at Acre, after which Catholic Europe mounted no further coherent response in the east.

Some historians see the Crusades as part of a purely defensive war against the expansion of Islam in the near east, some see them as part of long-running conflict at the frontiers of Europe and others see them as confident aggressive papal led expansion attempts by Western Christendom. The Byzantines had been contesting for centuries for territory in the region with mixed success in the Arab–Byzantine Wars, the Byzantine–Seljuq Wars and in 1071 had lost the sparsely occupied plains of Anatolia after their defeat by the Seljuk Turks at the Battle of Manzikert. Urban II sought to reunite the Christian church under his leadership by providing Emperor Alexios I with military support. Several hundred thousand soldiers became Crusaders by taking vows and by receiving plenary indulgences.^[2][3] These crusaders were Christians from all over Western Europe under feudal rather than unified command, and the politics were often complicated to the point of intra-faith competition leading to alliances between combatants of different faiths against their coreligionists, such as the Christian alliance with the Islamic Sultanate of Rûm during the Fifth Crusade.

The impact of the Crusades was profound and judgement of the conduct of Crusaders has varied widely from highly critical to laudatory. Jonathan Riley-Smith identifies the independent states established, such as the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Crusader States, as the first experiments in "Europe Overseas". These ventures reopened the Mediterranean to trade and travel, enabling Genoa and Venice to flourish. Crusading armies would engage in commerce with the local populations while on the march, with Byzantine emperors often organizing markets for Crusader forces moving through their territory. The crusading movement consolidated the collective identity of the Latin Church under the Pope’s leadership and was the source of heroism, chivalry, and medieval piety. This in turn spawned medieval romance, philosophy, and literature.^[4] However, the crusades reinforced the connection between Western Christendom, feudalism, and militarism that ran counter to the Peace and Truce of God that Urban had promoted. The crusaders often pillaged the countries through which they travelled in the typical medieval manner. Nobles often retained much of the territory gained rather than returning it to the Byzantines as they had sworn to do.^[5][6] Encouraged by the Church, the Peoples' Crusade prompted the Rhineland massacres and the massacre of thousands of Jews. In the late 19th century this episode was used by Jewish historians to support Zionism.^[7] The Fourth Crusade resulted in the sacking of Constantinople, effectively ending the chance of reuniting the Christian church by reconciling the East–West Schism and leading to the weakening and eventual fall of the Byzantine Empire to the Ottomans. Nevertheless, some crusaders were only poor people trying to escape the hardships of medieval life in an armed pilgrimage leading to Apotheosis at Jerusalem

I believe that what ever was under the temple in Jerusalem was remove to France by the Knights Templar & what we see in Origins is an attempt to seal in the evil they released from the Temple mound back in Jerusalem.

 

Sam, if it is even Sam, just got caught up in something much bigger.

 

Hope this helps get the brain juices flowing.

 

Some of my favorite games are (Rome Total War, Medieval 2 Total War).

 

My favorite book series is called the Eagles & is set in Roman times 1st century AD.

I don't think we can make that conclusion simply from Longinus. After all, Reznov's Revenge is present but Reznov is not. However, the conclusion is not necessarily incorrect, and I really hope that we get an ancient / Jerusalem map some day in the future, Alpha. That would be awesome.

[AlphaSnake]

I just can't shake this one off.

 

Something came up in the news today that had my z senses fired up.

Lead me to this: I've made the most interesting parts bold, but believe me this is worth your time.

Prosecutor’s Office of The International Common Law Court of Justice – Brussels – Bulletin No. 3: Thursday, April 17, 2014

Bulletin No. 3: Thursday, April 17, 2014 – 10 pm GMT

In the Matter of the People v. Bergoglio, Pachon, Welby and others charged with global child trafficking and ritual murder

Summary:

1 The Court adjourns for two weeks after the first round in the Prosecutor’s Case discloses the startling testimony of eight witnesses.

2 Two separate witnesses describe their alleged rape and ritual torture by chief defendant Jorge Bergoglio (alias “Pope Francis”) in 2009 and 2010.

3 The Chief Prosecutor establishes a link between the British, Dutch and Belgian royal families and the disappearances and killing of Mohawk children at the Church of England’s Brantford Indian residential school in Canada.

4 Jesuit records are introduced as evidence detailing the so-called “Magisterial Privilege” decreeing papal involvement in “Ninth Circle” ritual murder of newborn children. The same records identify Joseph Ratzinger as a member of the “Knights of Darkness” S.S. sacrificial cult during World War Two.

5 ITCCS Field Secretary Kevin Annett is scheduled to testify before the Court during its second round of sessions in early May to corroborate witnesses’ testimonies from his own work and experience.

6 A prominent Vatican official initiates back channel communication with the Court and offers key evidence, as Magistrates consider extending closed Court sessions during May.

7 The Court and its affiliates will issue an Easter Proclamation this Sunday, April 20 and endorse public actions at the Vatican and Catholic churches across the world. Rev. Kevin Annett will lead a public ceremony of “exorcism and replacement” at a prominent Catholic cathedral on that day.

 

The Details:

Following eight days of Court procedure and the commencement of the Citizen Prosecutor’s case against the three chief defendants, the first Common Law adjudication of evidence concerning global child trafficking has adjourned for two weeks, until 10 am GMT on Monday, May 5, 2014.

Commencing on Tuesday, April 8 after an opening Court session the day before, the case by the Citizen Prosecutor’s Office presented evidence directly linking all three chief defendants with the planning and execution of child trafficking networks within the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches, and with the practice and concealment of the ritual rape, torture and killing of children.

Along with considerable documentation, the Prosecutor introduced notarized affidavit statements from eight eyewitnesses to these crimes, including videotaped interviews with two adolescent women who claim to have been tortured and raped by chief defendant Jorge Bergoglio, alias “Pope Francis”, during the spring of 2009 and 2010, at horrific cult functions connected to the “Ninth Circle” child sacrifice network.

“Survivors of these rituals describe newborn babies being chopped to pieces on stone altars, and their remains were then consumed by the participants” described the Chief Prosecutor to the Court.

 

“The survivors during the 1960′s period were forced to rape and mutilate other children, and then cut their throats with ceremonial daggers. Former Pope Benedict, Joseph Ratzinger, Dutch Cardinal Alfrink, and Prince Bernhard were among the cult participants, according to these survivors. But significantly, the more recent incidents in 2009 and 2010 involved exactly the same kinds of ritualized murder of newborn infants in rural Holland and Belgium.”

Other witnesses described their personal knowledge of efforts by the defendants to conceal the involvement of not only the Catholic and Anglican church, but the British, Belgian and Dutch royal families, in the ritual killing of Mohawk Indian children at the Brantford residential school in Ontario, Canada.

These killings span over seventy years and include the period between 1942 and 1945 when exiled Dutch Queen Wilhemina and her family lived in Canada, and participated in Ninth Circle rituals at the Mohawk Indian school.

Introduced documentation* indicates that, to assist and conceal such involvement of Dutch “royals” in these cult killings, the Canadian government and Privy Council Office in London granted “extra-territorial exemption” to the Dutch royals from all criminal, civil and military jurisdiction while in Canada. (* The Canada Gazette , Issue No. 232, December 26, 1942, Ottawa)

Dutch and Belgian royal participants in the rape and killing of Mohawk children and newborns included Bilderberger founder Crown Prince Bernhard and King Hendrick, consort to Queen Wilhelmina of Holland.

 

As part of the Prosecutor’s corroborating evidence, secret archives from the Jesuit Order were introduced into the Court record that describe in detail the so-called “Magisterial Privilege” compelling the participation of every new Pope in the Ninth Circle sacrifice of new born children.

The records suggest that the Ninth Circle was established by the Jesuits just prior to their staged “disbandment” in 1773 and their establishment three years later of the so-called Illuminati cult, although references are also made to organized child sacrifice rituals at Catholic cathedrals in Rome as early as the year 1528.

 

The Chief Prosecutor told the Court,

 

“These archives clearly indicate a premeditated plan for centuries by the Jesuits to ritually murder kidnapped newborn babies and then consume their blood, born of a twisted notion of deriving spiritual power from the lifeblood of the innocent and thereby assuring the political stability of the Papacy in Rome. Every Pope was expected to and did in fact participate in these monstrous rituals … These acts are not only genocidal but systemic and institutionalized in nature, and indict the Roman Catholic Church and the Jesuits as a whole, and every Pope since at least in the year 1773.”

 

The same collection of Jesuit archival records make reference to a child sacrificial cult known as The Knights of Darkness, established by the Nazi Waffen S.S. Division in 1933 with Jesuit backing. The archives identify former Pope Benedict, Joseph Ratzinger, as a member of the Knights and as an S.S. Chaplain’s assistant at the Ravensbruck concentration camp in Germany, where he participated in sacrificial rites using children transported to the camp or kidnapped from political prisoners.

The latter practice was a common Jesuit undertaking in Spain, Argentina and other fascist regimes, and one implicating chief defendant Jorge Bergoglio while he was a priest, Bishop and front man for the military junta in Argentina during the 1970′s.

 

ITCCS Field Secretary Kevin Annett is scheduled to appear as a witness during the second session of the Court commencing Monday, May 5. Annett will provide thorough corroborating evidence and personal testimony to support the Prosecutor’s case and the evidence concerning the Brantford killings, gained over twenty years’ work with residential school survivors in Canada, including during his targeted persecution by church and state. (www,hiddennolonger.com)

Meanwhile, in startling related news, a senior Vatican official initiated a back channel communication with the Court last week in order to offer key evidence to the Prosecutor’s Office concerning its case against the chief defendants.

The Vatican official has requested strict anonymity and security, prompting the Court Magistrates to consider extending the closed sessions of the Court during its next round in May.

 

Finally, this Easter Sunday, April 20, the Court and its affiliates in twenty one countries will issue a Public Proclamation to be read at Catholic churches in Rome and dozens of other cities.

 

Rev. Kevin Annett will lead a public ceremony of “Exorcism and Replacement” at a central Catholic facility on that day, and similar ceremonies will be held at the Vatican and at many other catholic churches. Details of the event will be posted this Sunday evening GMT at www.itccs.org .

That's a very interesting and very sad read at the same time, food for thought.
