People of the ancient world were considered the greatest thinkers of our time. However, we can only imagine the level of itellect that they had. The man in this sculpture was obviously thinking about something very important, important enough to carve his thoughts into stone. What do
you think he was thinking about? On that note, what was the sculptor thinking?
Here's something else to think about. Ancient Greeks and Romans had a very strict belief in their Gods, just as we do today. They let thier lives be governed by supernatural forces that may or may not have existed. When Rome fell, and the time of the Greeks and Romans had ceased, what happened to their Gods? Did they disappear or do they still live on somewhere? Are they angry because people have not believed in them for centuries? Does a God only exist if people choose to let them?
God is a powerful force, or so we believe. If man chooses not to believe anymore, what will happen? Will he finally show himself and
make us believe, or will he disappear just like the ancient Gods. And finally, if we choose not to believe in God now, what will we believe in next? Who will be the new God?
