    My theory: Piglins and the ancient civilization were once allies, they went in the nether and met each other. At first they weren't aggressive, so they made a truce, piglins provide protection, and they build the bastions for them, but one critical mistake was made. The builders brought a zombie virus with them into the nether and they zombified the piglins, making them incredibly angry at them for obvious reasons, so they became hostile and hate the wither skeletons for obvious reasons. Nowadays piglins are desperate for gold because they think it may stop the virus, think about it, gold is obviously magical it cures villagers and makes golden food, so the piglins saw how the civilization used this and they use it in the hopes it will cure their race, with the ruined bastions being all they have left they use them to protect their sacred gold.

    Theory. Perhaps the soul sand the pigs were buried on held the souls of the ancient builders. That’s why they are bipedal because the souls of the ancient builders went into the pigs, which could also explain how they know how to hold swords

    I think blazes are like the guardians in that they're robotic sentries, and with how their breathing sounds very dry but humanlike, they could be powered by souls. 😐 I got nothing on ghasts though.

      Then look at the Blazes!
      They only spawn there and they dont even just normally spawn there like Wither-Skeletons, but no, they have their own Spawner.
      There must be a reason for that.
      They could be an Alarm-System - yet they are always agressive towards the player and can never ever be tamed.
      So?

      Well, I can connect all again. It could be that the nether wart, has a magic property of decay. Which explains why pigmen are half on decay. As a result they died from decay(1.16+), and their souls being added to the soul sand. Perhaps they might be the souls inside the ghast. The ghast according to my theory, is a flying robotic marshmallow, but powered from souls of these pigmen. Perhaps explains why the "Uneasy alliance" achivement, where you bring the ghast *back home* safely. But the piglins are another race entirely different. A pig transformed from the heat on the nether

And now the pigmen are completely replaced by piglins. So we would say it does slaughter this theory

    Theory extension: The over world has some sort of zombie virus in the air and that charges up the lightning (which is a form of plasma) reacting with the pigs and transforming them into zombified bipedal versions of themselves. The nether on the other hand has a weak form of plasma floating through the air and when the pigs ate nether wart (the base ingredient for most potions) it with the souls required to grow it trigger a similar reaction creating the piglin.

    Common puffball fungus contains a compound called lycoperdic acid, which is a type of amino acid. Based on the structural similarity with glutamic acid, lycoperdic acid is expected to have antagonistic or agonistic activity for the glutamate receptor in the mammalian central nervous system. My theory is that nether wart is very similar to common puffball, and that it might enhance the effect of the ingredients that are used along with it on the nervous system, which would explain the powers that the potions give you.

    I think that the reason Mooshrooms came to existence isn't because of cows eating mushrooms for generations until mushrooms became a part of their anatomy but rather because of a symbiotic relationship, I have reason to believe the cows that became Mooshrooms ended up as such because of often being covered with the spores of mushrooms which ended up adapting to live in symbiosis with the cow in which the cow is mostly brain dead while the mushroom keeps it alive and does all the surviving. Here are the reasons why:
    Reason 1: When you look at a Mooshroom's eyes all you see are two black squares, perhaps its because the eyes aren't needed because the mushroom has no need for it when they are controlling a cow in an area without predators.
    Reason 2: The way mushrooms work is that the mushroom is connected to an underground hive mind known as Hyphae which is likely found in mushrooms in Minecraft as shown in Mycelium, it may be that there is a similar network inside of the cows body.
    Reason 3: In this symbiotic relationship there is not much need for the cow to really be in a state that can be considered alive since the mushrooms are doing all the work. This is possible due to the fact that evolution is less of keeping the organism alive and more of preserving the DNA as noted in the Endosymbiosis theory, which claims that the mitochondria and chloroplasts started out as their own organism with chloroplasts specifically starting out as a kind of cyanobacteria but both ended up as endosymbionts which allowed the host to gain more energy and become more complex while the endosymbionts go from being considered alive to being another organelle with only their DNA being the last remnants of their days as actual living organisms, this is exactly the same except it's the host that loses their ability to be considered alive while the endosymbiont takes up the role formerly taken up by the cow itself and that both organisms are already multicellular eukaryotes rather than unicellular prokaryotes.

    Maybe the ancient builders found out that pigs turn into pigmen and started using them as a source of labor to gather supplies for their fortresses and the pigmen became enslaved over time.

    MATPAT! Here's a crazy theory for ya on the origins of skeletons. Your zombie disease video makes sense, but doesn't explain the skeletons. No disease is going to keep a pile of bones floating around. You'd need magic to do that. Here's a quote from the Mobestiary, " Some have proposed that skeletons are ancient adventurers raised from death by an evil sorcerer." In the game Minecraft Dungeons there is a group of ancient necromancers who live in a desert temple. They have blue glowing eyes (the color of souls) and when they summon skeletons, you can see small blue souls float away from the summoning area. They even shoot soul fire blasts! But why are they themselves undead? Maybe because when they (or some other humans) summoned the wither, they noticed that it doesn't attack undead things, and they turned themselves undead to protect themselves. I hope you read this!

    This confirms that there was indeed someone in the nether before you. Thats no big deal. But the fact that they point it out outright confirms that your theory on the ancient builders was right. You dont ask wonder who built them and mean nothing. Congrats on getting that right

    So the warts are fungi, right? Fungi are known as parasites, so the netherwarts may have taken control of the pigmen, and maybe that might explain why they'rr decayed?
    It's a theory needing more progress but I respect yours as well.
