In the religion in SnK, they worship the walls as their protectors and a number of times say that the walls were put there by God. The walls are also at least once referred to as Goddesses, though that is from subtitles and may not be entirely correct. Is this supposed to be based off of or mirror any real-life religion? Have the creators made any comments about this?


Although I can't find a source stating this, I presume this might be based on the Jewish religion. In the Jewish religion there is the Kotel. This is a old wall located in Jerusalem which is used for prayer.



I feel like they refer to all real life religions. Since AoT people have no real history of our time, they slowly created their own religion to explain the walls and humanity (like Adam and eve).

I don't tend to Wikipedia every answer. In this case this is a personal opinion with which I back up with Armin when he is called a heretic for his beliefs, like in Assassins Creed where they always go on about their gods.

  • This is a likely explanation, but do you have sources/proof? Or is it just a personal theory? – Madara Uchiha Feb 11 '14 at 10:32
