Finally, there is a researcher, comrade Ray, with a spiral tattooed on his forehead after dying frozen in ice. The connection to the above is still unclear, but one theory suggests it’s all related to the research they did at Tsalal Station. The team was looking for a supposedly very ancient organism that could reverse cellular decay. This creature can be shaped like a spiral. In episode 2, Rose tells Navarrese that this symbol is something “older than” “older than Ennis and older than ice.” Some words may refer to this prehistoric creature.

They managed to get out of the case unscathed, and were already mentioned in the fourth season of the series. True Detective. It turns out that the Tsalala research station is funded Tuttle Unitedthe company of the said family.
Finally, in the third season, the spiral True Detective mentioned as a “sign of pedophile rings”. Something that once again drew attention to the sect Tuttle.
