This video goes over the origins of Cyno, including his affiliation with the mysterious Temple of Silence as well as the lore on the identities of the Scarlet King, his three retainers (or magi?), Hermanubis and a bit on Alhaitham. I'll be focusing on the inspirations from Egyptian mythology and the lore we have from Sumeru to speculate on the possible history of these ancient characters too. While Genshin won't copy the mythologies they use for inspiration completely, I think there's still quite a lot we can learn from looking into the themes shared between them. Things get a little bit complicated but hopefully I explained things well enough to make sense without waffling on too much.
There's a boatload more we could talk about with different mythologies and references in the lore (like the Obelisks) that I didn't get to so let me know your favourites.
