What happens to two entangled quantum particles when one crosses an event horizon of a black hole? Would they remain entangled?

I rather think that attributing context to these particles by giving them names from antiquity and the biblical era, simply to demonstrate a possible interaction, is a needless, and frankly ineffective filter to apply to your thinking.
These particles are not characters from the days of yore, nor do their properties in any way resemble those of the persons you have associated them with, therefore there is no reason to do it. It seems like a seriously unwise thing to do, to take a relatively complicated interaction, and further muddy the clarity of your own communication on the subject, by further abstracting what is an already complex query for no apparent reason.
I mean, I suppose if you do not give a damn whether people can actually link what you are saying with the subject being discussed or not, then carrying on with that manner of communication is all very well, but unless you are trying to be bloody inscrutable, you might want to consider keeping your own personal informational filtering to yourself, and share the refined and finished thoughts you have with the rest of us, without resorting to use of these unhelpful personifications.

its real enough...i wouldn't spend much energy trying to prove that i'm tethered somewhere else...possibly I am.
but if you want to prove it...you'd better be well prepared for what you encounter.
I think you should probably prefer Earthbound Bruce.
Dude.

moses and ramses are two quantum particles, gravitational singularities to be specific.
one crosses an event horizon, called the Red Sea in the popular story, and he took three women with him (the Standard Model)...what happens to the other; he tries to cross and he is destroyed...
this is quite straight forward. sorry that i've decided to interpret the story as a thought experiment into the type of questions the OP asked.
i started doing it after I saw that the development of quantum mechanics coincided with the destruction of nearly every King and Emperor in WWI.
but maybe your theory is right...that people have to be handy with a firearm...aka Monkey World.
But, for all intents and purposes, if you have an entangled pair of particles and you drop one into a black hole, you’ll be left with one particle that is still technically entangled to the other, but it doesn’t matter. It’ll behave like any other particle.
