==Other interpretations== {{unreferenced section|date=June 2024}} In [[Alan Moore]]'s Lovecraft-derived comic book mini-series ''[[Neonomicon]]'' and ''[[Providence (Avatar Press)|Providence]]'' it is implied, in a fashion suiting a non-Euclidean entity such as Cthulhu, that R'lyeh and subsequently Cthulhu himself do not yet exist in a physical sense. R'lyeh and Cthulhu's "dead dreaming" are instead a metaphor for the [[Fetus#Development in humans|fetal development]] of Cthulhu in the womb of a female human detective-turned-cultist, impregnated by a male [[Deep One]] while held prisoner by his followers. Similarly to the [[Antichrist]], it is stated that Cthulhu's inevitable "return" to destroy civilization and liberate mankind from rule of law will begin with his physical birth.
