Help with the story, im confused..

[Tesseract]

In Mexico Oswald discovered the orb relic and he saw the disasters that were yet to happen in the 20th century. The rest you already know. His soul soul was split in two he grew insane, murdered his children and hated humanity viewing them no differently to pigs.

The machine is what he created to become a new god, he fed people into the machine, he wanted to reshape humanity to prevent the up and coming wars and disasters. He was deceived by the machine to save his children but instead the machine (his distorted other half) wanted Mandus to restart the engines and release the man pigs to continue reshaping mankind.


As for the temple I think it was already there, in one of the notes he talks about digging deeper and deeper in his factory to build more machines and discovering passageways.
