In the days when the great ancient Greeks and Romans ruled the land, the gods were at the top of the food chain. Any blessing that came to the people was a doing from the gods. To show admiration and worship, they would build these sculptures and statues to portray their immortals. Today, in the year 2011 A.D. we nor longer worship these “gods”…or do we? We still build statues in appreciation to certain figures or just for some sort of decoration but at the same time is this not the same thing the people of the ancient lands did centuries before us? For example the picture above depicts a man, no one important in particular, but still it sits in front of one of the most recognized buildings in the world, let alone New York City. No one even thinks twice about this. We all think it’s there because it looks nice but why? Is there a reason behind all this decoration scattered around the world? Could there be a secret meaning that we just choose to look past everyday? One of the biggest controversies in government is that there is a secret society behind everything single step the government makes…is this our way of worshipping them without us even noticing? In a country free of religion, we still seem to take certain sides. Has nothing really changed since the times of the pharaohs? All I know is it is time for people to not only open their eyes but also ask questions as well.
