Thank you all so much for sending me so much support!

'Usurping' Theory - I think the statue message in Leyndell is a stepping-stone to a secret layer of truth! One we were supposed to find out!
This theory does go against the currently main accepted theory within the Elden Ring, FromSoft lore community - the idea that "Radagon is Marika". R=M, or 'Radika' Theory. This is an important message given to the player, but I think the rabbit hole goes deeper! And just so you know, I think it goes somewhere WAY darker...
I know it sounds crazy to go against the tide, but I hope you'll find I've backed up my theory with a thorough demonstration of the current theory, all of its supporting evidence, and then a detailed breakdown with respect to how the 'Usurping' Theory interacts with, and works with, each of the main arguments for Radagon being Marika (Radika). I've also created Timelines of the Lands Between for both the existing theory, and for the new 'Usurping' Theory. Featuring discussions on Goldmask's questline, Rennala and the Great Rune of the Unborn, the intentions of the Two Fingers, the Symbolism of Queen Marika as a vessel, and Radagon's mysterious origins.
With all that said, I hope you enjoy the video! And I hope, by the end, you'll at least see where I'm coming from!

First time doing this sort of thing, any and all comments will be read, and any discussions or criticisms are very appreciated.
EDIT: Thank you all for sharing so much support and kindness - I'm completely blown away by all the generous comments!
