Ancient Babylon was a powerful society that used war elephants and elephants feature prominently in their art and sculpture. They have therefore become associated with opulence. After establishing his empire, Alexander the Great used elephants to guard his palace at Babylon (note the elephant in the video stands between the protestors and a government-looking building, facing outward).<br /><br />Babylon was portrayed in the Bible as a city condemned to destruction by God for its sinful nature. Babylon has therefore come to represent a society that has become morally corrupt and is doomed to collapse. The Babylonian Talmud says that unsaddled Elephants (like this one) are a bad omen.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827968588643415787.post-58924880978403946072012-10-11T20:09:27.509-05:002012-10-11T20:09:27.509-05:00The first statue is that of the Roman god of War, ...The first statue is that of the Roman god of War, Mars. <br />Though he delights in the bloodshed and violence of war, Mars is traditionally a coward and will flee battle at the slightest injury to his person. <br />Perhaps Mars is symbolic of the police? Willing to engage in war and stand up for law until it becomes personally difficult or dangerous?

I ask because I think the timing in which the statues are displayed plays an important role in the interpretation of the video.Londohttp://www.reverbnation.com/londo618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827968588643415787.post-86975300967696796012012-06-04T20:56:14.819-05:002012-06-04T20:56:14.819-05:00This is awesome. And you're interpretation of ...This is awesome. And you're interpretation of the missing and brutalized women.....scary! I love Kanye West (PAUSE...) but some of his past antics and his ties to the Illuminati make me raise an eyebrow. I'm speaking of the rumors of homosexuality within the Illuminati. Though I am major fans of the Ancient Greeks, I have always cringed at the all man state and their open sexuality (No offense to any homosexuals out there!). In the video there are no living women and the only instances of their existence are not too bright, as you stated. Could they be expressing some form of rebuking women? Is the brutal molestation of mannequin suggesting that vagina (women in general) is somehow, reponsible for something? If so, what; considering that most of our planet has appeared to have a patriarchial heirarchy since society started. Traces of this, I think, are found throughout the Abrahamic traditions starting from Eve's "causing" Adam to fall. <br /><br />Again, with the Illuminati thing, according to most of the rumors on it, yes they are in fact attempting to keep a chain aound wisdom. Unfortunately, I believe even Plato believed that all people shouldn't know everything, and that matters of import or extreme intellect should be left to the philosophy king and his (which I'm sure Plato intended it to be) people of trust. I couldn't tell exactly who the elephant belonged to either which maybe suggests that it belongs to no one? Maybe, instead of it meaning that someone has put a chain on it, this is saying that "true" wisdom is not attainable by Homo sapien sapiens on either side and therefore, we are causing more harm than good? It's days like this when I wish my music career was blossoming so I could hit one of them up and ask them. lol.Londohttp://www.reverbnation.com/londo618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827968588643415787.post-5583277386152702562012-06-04T20:40:00.168-05:002012-06-04T20:40:00.168-05:00One of the statues looks like Saint Theresa to me....One of the statues looks like Saint Theresa to me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06655779061173009120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827968588643415787.post-11916943275472839132012-06-04T19:18:11.543-05:002012-06-04T19:18:11.543-05:00Good interpretation!ThanksGood interpretation!ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
