different carve stone coming from, different country...

Good day to all my fellow steemians...

In most culture people carve images of their gods, and because it is so enduring, stone is a favorite material for such portrayals.Frequently people saw the carvings as more than just works of art. They believed that a deity would actually inhabit an image made in the right way and with due reverence . As the eternal dwelling places of gods, spirits,and ancestors carved stone held real magic for those who made them.
