Where the heck did I hear about this door? I'm pretty sure I've known about this for a long time, and I am certain I didn't discover it myself.

THE LOST KNOWLEDGE OF THE ANCIENTS

I've been hearing about that 'Keen 6 before Keen 5' thing for years and years and have never once seen an actual source for it. Thanks!
