Damanhur | 100 Wonders | Atlas Obscura
Welp, if I ever disappear, you may seek me out in Damanhur. I mean, if you don't mind journeying into the earth on some ye olde quest for assbackwards cultic knowledge. Probably just a bunch of acid trip tales -- but, hey, man... I seen some things. Those things... they were weeeeird, maaaan.
I could probably show them my tasteful Lord of the Rings tattoos and they would be like, "Welcome, acolyte." Eventually I would request that I have a branch of the cult and call it the Brotherhood of Steel. Yeah. That's how I want to run my section of the vault's cultic order. The future will need us to bring them tales of pop culture and ancient 1970s occult knowledge.
The Church of Science & Knowledge has found the 'One'
Wait, people are saying this wasn't a send-up of scientology?
Scientology = the branch of knowledge concerned with science.
Hence, Church of Science and Knowledge is a pretty obvious reference to Scientology.
The personality test is one of the things Scientology is best known for. I don't know of any other major cults or New Religious Movements which even use personality tests,
The office itself is a direct parody of Scientology branches.
Honestly, I can't see how this can be reasonably interpreted any other way.
>> ^dannym3141:
The personality test is NOT a trademark system of scientology, i remember stories about cults when i was 5 that started you out with a personality test,
Can you name one? The Temple of Damanhur doesn't. Eckankar doesn't. The Raelians don't. The Moonies don't. The Hare Krishnas don't. Heaven's Gate didn't. Summum doesn't. Aleph (formerly Aum Shinrikyo) doesn't.
