Good question Thor….
Why is anything worshipped?
Humans are quite easily mislead.
I have heard…no idea if its true however…its related to the completion of the universe. Alignments of planets at a time in our past/future. 12 unified "information centers". It is said there are 11 today. The final 12th being earth switched on via the "awakening" of mass conciousness.
True or false it's still a cool story.
