Re: The power of ritual, rituals of power

... and the greatest of these is Power.
Democract has always been, and still is, an aberration in the way humans behave. Absolutism rules! (ho ho). The French, who are supposed to have invented modern democracy started by simply substituting one absolute dictatorship with another. It took us until the American Constitution to even think of the idea of Separation of Powers, and ever since then the Presidency has worked to subvert the concept as much as it could. It's the way we are.

Your three things, power, religion and communication are an indivisiblre trinity to my mind, and if a monument displays one it is bound to have involved the other two as well. At least, if it's not the case, those people were very different to all we know of how people are these days.
