(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Sure everyone has seen the New Zombies trailer now and a number of times the new map "Die Rise" has been said to have a "M C Escher" feel to it. I had a little search and found that M C Escher actually had a Woodcut called "Tower of Babel". Obviously more will be known when the new map is realised but i dont really think that its coincidence that the Easter Egg is called Tower of Babel on Green Run, and the continuous links to M C Escher on the new map also has a Woodcut called Tower of Babel. What do you guys think?

For those who dont no, M C Escher was a Dutch Graphic Artist, known for his Mathmatically input images on Impossible Realitys. Some of his work is quite a bit of a mind fuck.

Both interesting reads if your into this kind of stuff, im sure it will offer some insight when we have had the chance to play Die Rise.

I defeated!
Nice find hopefully this map gives us clues as to what happened to Tranzit. I'm certain the Easter Egg on Die Rise will have links to Tower of Babel but we will have to wait and see.

Very neat, I'm excited!

Tranzit has left me disappointed after completing both M and R sides of "Tower of bable" and receiving nothing but more questions. I pray that Treyarch clears it all up.

Imagine a map like Eschers "relativity". Oh snap upside down zombies.

Interesting, very interesting...I'm thinking that the only reason the devs described it as something out of an MC Escher painting is because of this.
Also, I find the biblical story quite like the situation that's going on right now, with everyone trying to find out the easter egg continuation. We were on the right track, and we found how to do both sides of the (first part of the?) easter egg. But then we all just got confused and started to prop up random theories that were dumb and never worked. It's not that we don't all speak the same language (mostly) it's that we can't really understand one another, because honestly sometimes when people are talking about their theories on the cod forums it sounds like absolute nonsense to me! :P
Or, on another note, this biblical tie could be intentional. Maybe the devs are trying to lead us on the right track...
