The trump cards of the Sola Busca deck feature Roman generals involved in the Punic Wars against Carthage. This geographical focus points toward North Africa and the Carthaginian deity Baal Hamon, who was historically associated with child sacrifice. Adams argues that the deck's imagery is a forceful reinforcement of this dark connection, linking the elite lineage to these ancient sacrificial practices.

Knowles notes that UFO sightings in ancient Rome often coincided with existential crises, such as the Second Punic War, leading to major changes in the state pantheon. He references *Twin Peaks: The Return* and its depiction of the Trinity nuclear test summoning malignant entities. He concludes that the Roswell event was likely a highly orchestrated ritual, citing the "bullshit" official explanations as evidence of a cover-up.

Randall Carlson argues that ancient myths and legends are not mere superstitions but sophisticated records of how the world works. He laments the loss of over a million volumes of ancient knowledge through the destruction of the Library of Alexandria and the library at Carthage. Carlson suggests that modern science and archaic traditions are complementary perspectives on reality.
