Also a good plot bunny for Numenera. Because giant heads lying around in the wilderness, shorn of all context, are pretty freakin’ weird.
Uh, Wow.
I keep imagining what could happen if these things survived for 2000 years. Would it be like Easter Island, where we have lost the context, or would it be like Egyptian statues and we’re like “oh yeah, that’s FDR, that’s Kennedy, that’s Lincoln, and I think that’s Filmore? He was one of the lesser know ones.”
Let’s camp here. Good cover. Some of the gang thinks they’re really watching though, eyes of the dead, psychic maelstrom swirlin’.
Meguey Baker A bit of both, especially if Mount Rushmore is still around: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Teddy Roosevelt? Easy to identify. Arthur, Taft, Cleveland and Van Buren? Not so much.
All of the above… isn’t culture consensus grand!
I think I’ve seen this in an Off-Off-Broadway musical, aired on some PH-1 trans dimensional holiday special, back in the day… but, then again, I might have slipped through a rabbit hole and got lost somewhere East by Westeast of Xangr’lyeh Ia, flying on a magic carpet, at the time… as my wandering spirit is sometimes wont to do.
Considering what people can do when bored and no one to tell them not too… over a 2000 year period of apocalypse apathy and teenage wasteland angst, some charismatic rat pack alpha would likely get the bright notion to arrange them in an evocative mathematical pattern, encoded with pre-fall lore and knock-knock jokes.
I’d want to dig to find out. I want to see if the full bodies are there. If supplies are available, it’s only dirt and time stopping someone from seeing if these are markers or treasures.
…
I’d make this a temple of worship. Create my own personal religion from scratch I’d have secret runners looking for signs of the men and alter their stories to make them either match my stories or stand as heretical writings by a “false” sect either fictional as well or also set up by myself.
…
I’d break them down and use the material for making something new. The old world is dead, let’s make a new one.
….
It’s a spott a small company can fortify or expand upon to use for shelter or as a supply depot. Grow and expand, is this the city of the next future.
Tony Love They do bring to mind the statues that used to be arranged around Greek temples.
The pictures show a person stands about level with the knot in the tie, so how about a stockade wall of broken concrete and bent rebar up to just under the eyes so they peer out at any approaching force?
Also, apparently they are hollow, so shelters, with smoke coming out the ears/eyes/nose/holes in the head?
