Description
This is a 30-something- hour's work, building this non-historical monument,entirely out of Bryce terrains, except the pillars (made of primitives) and the golden lion at the top of it. (the city in the background is also made of terrains). I didn't know how to name this image, but came across a biography of Akbar the Great (1542-1605), considered the greatest of the Mughal emperors and known for his extreme tolerance to all religions. He gave respect not only to Muslim scholars, but also to Hindus, Christians, Parsis and Sikhs. Those who came to his court were given respect, and the Emperor heard their views, sometimes alone, sometimes in the Ibadatkhana (Hall of Worship), where people of all religions assembled and discussed their views in a tolerant spirit.
Ceci est le fruit d'un travail d'une trentaine d'heures à bâtir ce monument qui n'a rien d'historique, entièrement à partir de terrains, sauf les piliers et le lion d'or à son sommet. (la ville est aussi faite à partir de terrains). Je ne savais pas comment nommer cette image, mais suis tombé par hasard sur une biographie d'Akbar le Grand, considéré comme le plus grand empereur Mogol et connu pour sa grande tolérance vis-à-vis des religions. Non seulement respectait-il les érudits musulmans, mais aussi ceux des Hindous, des Chrétiens, des Perses et des Sikhs. Ceux qui fréquentaient sa cour avaient droit au respect et l'Empereur écoutait leurs points de vue, parfois seul, parfois dans la salle de l'adoration où les représentants de toutes les religions se rassemblaient et débattaient de leurs opinions dans un esprit de tolérance.

Great work in constructing this marvelous residence.The Emperor sounds like he was a very wise man.
Fantastique travail de modelage ! Les textures sont superbes !
Incredible work! How amazing you used terrains for sculpting the majority of this scene. I am lucky if I can make a convincing hill in Bryce. : ) I like your inspiration, too. If only humans could learn tolerance, that would be such a wonderful thing.
Excellent!
The time you've put in it is evident .. the work is not only meticulous, it is beautiful! Darned near photographic! What gives it away is the fact that they didn't have cameras back in those times, LOL! Wonderful history to the image as well, I can imagine he would have a summer palace such as this serene place!
exceptional design and is it for rent?
Spectacular and nice work! Fantastic…
J'ai lu du français alors ce sera plus facile than in english ;-) Summer! - L'idée de certains archéologues que Summer a connu le contact avec "les autres" tout comme l'Egypte, la chine, l'Inde, l'Amerique du Sud, la polynésie, l'Afrique, etc - ne me semble pas si idiote et dénuée de fondements. D'ailleurs c'est dans cette époque qu'on voit apparaître sur terre et ce, sur tous les continents, des "dieux" fichtrement "instrumentalisés" d'ailleurs certains passages de la bible sont éloquents à ce sujet. Beau travail et quel courage!!!
fantastic composed work! delightful mood, wonderful building and a stunning mountain landscape! the time was worth! ;o)
Impressionnant!
