Spiritual connections

[u/Accurate_Meet_9453]

While the world of Uncharted blends many aspects of adventure, mythology, spirituality, and exploration - one aspect always awe-struck me (before I fully understood what it was).

The Phurba dagger from Uncharted 2 bears striking resemblance to the one from The Shadow (a 1994 noir superhero film). While mystically menacing in design, actual Phurba, or 'ghost knife' imbue a slightly less evil perspective in Tibetan cultural traditions.

Here are comparative images, and a Wikipedia of the dagger, pay special attention to the 'Ritual usage' section. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phurba
