Sinuous carvings

Sinuous carvings associated with Abeloth were identified in 44 ABY by Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. Reliefs featuring the carvings depicted serpents, vines, tentacles, ropes, and entrails in Abeloth's ruins on her planet. The same reliefs existed on at least half a dozen planets that suffered cataclysms and rendered uninhabitable long before recorded history. Such worlds included^[1] the Inner Rim's^[2] Caulus Tertius and the Kathol Outback's Shatuun.^[3]

In 1 BBY, academic Dr. Insmot Bowen and his researchers believed that the appearance of such reliefs in ancient civilizations' art corresponded with their contact with the Celestials and subsequent destruction. Dr. Bowen also noted the sinuous carvings' resemblance with the ancient ophidian grotesques on the Core World Coruscant.^[3] The relief's symbols corresponded with those of the "Destructors" in the legends of the^[1] Wild Space^[4] world Kesh.^[1] The Celestial Palace of the ancient Thuruht hive on a world in the Maraqoo sector's Reo system^[5] in Wild Space^[6] also featured sinuous carvings, including symbols of beasts and fiends that were unfamiliar to both the Jedi who studied ophidian grotesques and C-3PO.^[5]
