Theory

~February 19th~

The death toll continues to mount, as does the evidence for my hypothesis. In the three months since my last journal entry, I have confirmed both the dates that the sarcophagus was extracted, and its correlation to the Tunguska event that spawned it. My hypothesis is ready to metamorphose unto theory, which follows after this brief recap:

-June 1908, the Tunguska Event occurs in Southeastern Krasnoyarsk. The meteorite carrying the entity detonated above Siberia, releasing a massive amount of energy and sound that was felt and heard around the world.

-August 1908, the entity, still sealed within the sarcophagus, is discovered in or around the detonation crater. A short time later, the sarcophagus is moved to the ziggurat (the team dated the ziggurat at 5,000 years, original purpose still unknown).

-November 1970, our team enters the main chamber, somehow awakening the entity sealed within.
Several men are killed, the rest (including myself) suffer loss of memory and relocation by force(s) unknown.

Theory: The entity sealed within the sarcophagus is a supernatural being of great power and purpose (whether this purpose is beneficial or harmful to humanity will be of little concern to so powerful a creature). We are indeed being hunted down by this entity, but to assign a moralistic judgment to its own actions is the height of foolishness. With the power this creature wields, any mere system of 'righteousness' falls flat, for it must be a law unto itself (I confess myself intrigued by this thought).

Knowing this, we can conclude the entity will attempt to eliminate me as well. However, I have a plan to establish communication with the creature, to prove my worth to it. I will not fall to this thing, no, I will rise with it. I will take my share of its awesome power for myself!
