NOTES

The "Memory Theater" was first featured in "Catacombe!" (Martin Mystere nn. 135-136), where it was actually just a not-very-well-explained medieval tv set.
In our webcomic, that medieval tv set is explained as an attempt of some medieval alchemists at recreating a techno-magical tool from the Atlantis age-- an instrument which was able to offer a "total recall" experience.

The "Endless Memory" function is a tribute to Ricordo senza fine (Martin Mystère n. 122), which was published about a year before "Catacombe!".
The magical tech behind our Memory Theater could be based on the organic proteins of Mr. Jinx's computer (the one seen in Ricordo senza fine).

Panel 2 show the first close-up of the "Eye of Horus" jewel.

The Phoenix Empire, apparently a predecessor of the Ancient Egypt civilizations, first appeared in "Gli Uomini In Nero (Martin Mystère Gigante n. 3).

The Black Lands are referenced in Il segreto della grande piramide (Martin Mystère Special n.3), but also in "La città dei cinque anelli" (Martin Mystère nn.196-197).

The World Civilization Centres were first referenced in "Il diluvio di fuoco" (Martin Mystère nn. 58-59-60), one of the first story that dealt with the topic of the minor countries thah existed during the Atlantis/Mu age.
Our webcomic references the concept that those countries knew with a certain advance that their world was about to end: that's why they had the time to leave so many bequests for the future civilizations (such as their "history chambers" and secret bases and so on).
In this case, though, their bequest was not a way to caution or help the future civilizations, but quite the heavy burden that no one knew how to handle (more about this in page 4).
