| "Worship to the disk" (Ural marble 0,40x0,34x0,98) |

| 14 centuries before A. D. Pharaoh Ehnathon proclaimed himself a son of the sun and worshiped it showing the way to the new cult possibilities. So he affirmed that the sun was the source of life on the planet, hence, the most magnificent God over all the living who exists on the Earth. Marble had been under the ground for milliards of years and only then the sculptor was born who had an idea (thanks to Egyptian culture) and then embodied it in marble. The idea itself was in worshiping the disc, the sun. But the sun in Pharaoh Ehnathon's mind was God, so the sculptor embodied this symbolic image from Pharaoh's point of view, i. e. that the sun was the creator of life on the planet. All sculptor's strength of the mind and power of his imagination were directed on materialization his object. And when the sculpture was finished the image of the Lord appeared on the disc, just in front of the face of the worshiper (look at one of the fragments). Nobody is in power to repeat this sculpture, as it is impossible... |
