Elvis’ features were strikingly similar to the ancient statues of gods, patriots and kings of many different cultures. Some of the most prominent resemblances are -Alexander the Great, -Pericles (Orator and statesman of Greece ), -King Mausolus of Asia Minor (355 B.C. from which the word ‘mausoleum’ was derived), Charioteer from the Sanctuary of Apollo at Delphi, and the statues of Hermes among others. Elvis’ photographs were used as studies to re-build Old World statues damaged during the bombings of WWII. It is revealing to note that these various statues sculpted in different eras and in many separate empires of the world only slightly resemble one another, further signifying the complexity of Elvis’ features which in the various stages of his life transformed through several archetypal ‘world images’. His face, expressions, and growth of self were as mutable as were his artistic talents which grew with the advancements of the times in which he lived. Yet despite his parity with the world, he remained singular, unique, and quite apart from the symbolic archetypes he represented in our culture.[ . . . . ] source-links: - You are not allowed to view links.

No matter how religious Michael is, he will never do that. He will never take a place of Jesus.. Are you kidding me? come on let's be logical here.. Yes Michael is a very special person, but will never replace Jesus in my book. I love Michael with all my heart, but I love Jesus more. There was on one Jesus who died on the cross for us, and that is final. Blessings.
