Yeah; right at the beginning.
That's not the 'Why'!
No, the reveal about "why" is not at the beginning. It is Zed realizing the parallels to the book, "The Wizard of Oz" as shown by emphasizing some letters and not others. That's the basis for the plot.
The 'why' is the subtle sub-texts of the film.
i.e.
All religion is man made.
The Class system is an anachronism.
Love conquers all barriers.
Women like sex too.
Only family is important.
Everybody has to die eventually, in order for the next generation to survive.
The present generation always blames the previous one for their woes.
Don't believe everything your leaders tell you.
It was actually quite a clever film.

The plot provides the "why" ...what you are listing are potential themes. I say "potential" because I doubt some items on your list were intended, or are even present. I think "why" is the question viewers are asking long with Zed. He thinks he is investigating what is behind the stone head, its appearances and where it goes. The "reveal" that answers his questions is in revealing the letters in the way you posted them, that shows the reality behind the stone head and its creator.

Go Team Venture? Is it just me or does that remind anyone else of The Venture Brothers?
