Shin-seiki: Am I the only one that sees something vaguely gynecological about this structure? Considering how the Angels are seeking to penetrate Nerv HQ, thru the Main Shaft, to reach Terminal Dogma in order to consummate their goal, which is ‘First Contact’ and complementation with the Source of Life there, I tend to think that the resemblance is deliberate…
Reichu: Well, sometimes an “inverted pyramid-shaped cavity is just an inverted pyramid-shaped cavity.” Then again, sometimes a cigar really is a phallic reference. Freudian analyses seem to have a bad habit of being either right-on-the-mark or seriously off-target. To the point, as of yet I haven't been able to find anything informative about the structure in production illos or anywhere else, including whether or not it links with the main shaft.
