so no new evidence, no new videos? Can you guys point me in a direction at least? I'm interested.
Not sure if this was discussed but the
Charon, the relay that humanity discovers might be a reference to
Charon from Greek mythology who was a ferryman in Hades.
Cerberus is also from Greek mythlogy and guards the underworld.
All this might be a hint towards Dante's "Divine Comedy" in which
Cerberus and
Charon appear. In the divine comedy Dante (the main character) is lost in dark woods where he meets
Virgil (nod to
Virgil AI and the prothean beacons) who gives him visions.
The story is told allegorically which is basically what the ME3 ending is. Shepard like Dante goes through three levels. For Dante it was Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. For Shepard Hell might either be initially after Harbinger attacks or the hallway with all the dead bodies. Purgatory being the meeting with TIM/Anderson, and Paradise/Heaven being meeting with starchild, the reapers might be representative of the "flying angels."

Dante and Beatrice see God as a point of light surrounded by angels

Shepard meets starchild up in the heavens, Shepard sees a beam of light that starchild tries to convince you is good.
In heaven Dante meets Beatrice who basically explains creation of the universe and the role of angels (or in ME3 Shepard meets starchild who explains the role of the reapers which are center for the creation of the ME3 universe and storyline).
ME3 flips the "Divine Comedy" on its head, Dante is the story of a person who ends up closer to God. Shepard's story is of accepting faith of a false god in the reapers and succumbing to indoctrination.
Extra credit: here is also some medievel imagery in the end of ME3. The medievel view of the universe:
