You are a REALLY good Finder!
Circling back to “watch the water”.
Q posted 2 photos from NK with different water themed backgrounds. What do we know of these backgrounds and are they intended to provide a theme or message to the viewer beyond the human subjects?
What do we know of the room or rooms the pictures are in? Is it the same room (a throne room, maybe; carpet comparisons might tell) with a different picture on each of the 4 walls? If yes, what are the other 2 walls?
Are there (at least) 2 rooms used for these “messages”; the walls of each painted in the same theme throughout? If so, are there other such “message” rooms for use. Future proves the past.
