thanks for sharing - whats inside the middle square?

In its fully-growen condition, »Elia« will look like a volcanic crater, whose profile is roughly convex. It is also similar to an inca temple, a factory and a nuclear power station. The ground area is a circle with a radius of 30 m. As with »The Great«, one has to climb the work in order to experience it. The entrance to »the mouth« is via 4 graduating steps which seen from above make an isosceles cross. The entire monument has the shape of the top of an enormous spherical dish of black iron which is elevated 15 m above earth and whose topside is crowned with 4 iron sails over a square with a side of 10 m. The sails bear nothing but a global lamp with a red light. They connect a low rail from where one can look down into the dish. If one dares.
From the deep of the shaft a »coincidental generator« spits up a multi meter high gas flame at undpredictable intervals, like af volcano hurling lava out of its crater, or purgatory giving its hottest breath. But there is more to it than heat and a vision. The bottom or base of »Elia« is formed like af concrete parabol, in bad weather the parabol will pick up and concentrate thunder from heaven and send it back to where it came from. One would feel as if the strength from earths core joins with the fires of heaven to show that everything above our heads and below our feet is connected and we can look upon ourselves as being a very small part of a great entirety, which we call the universe.

Thats very interesting - thanks for sharing this info.
Maybe after the next ice age architects will rediscover it and say it was a temple.

Great video and very interesting sculpture! In my interpretation it is a landing pod for ET ;-)
