jptanabe – Mysterious Monuments and Who Built Them

jptanabelm58f3148bddb57404c37e7d29686f994b_1241961816IMG_0166-squareGiant Squid Lensmaster jptanabe would like you to take a look at  “Mysterious Monuments and Who Built Them

Here’s Why:

I wrote this lens because I’m just fascinated by different cultures. Funnily enough I was never any good at history, couldn’t abide learning those names, dates, places and stuff about all the battles that kept happening everywhere. But one year we focused on the lives of the people, and that was just amazing!

In this lens I chose a bunch of mysterious monuments that have remained from civilizations that are no longer with us. Mostly we don’t understand why or even how the people built them. But they are all the most incredible sights. There are huge megalithic stone monuments and the funniest statues of, well, I suppose you’d call them people. I just laugh every time I see those Olmec colossal heads and the Moai lined up looking intently at who knows what!

Anyway, I had so much fun making this lens. I hope lots of other people can enjoy it too, and there’s plenty to learn as well! ~ jptanabe
