Monument

A monument is a type of structure that was explicitly created to commemorate a person or important event, or which has become important to a social group as a part of their remembrance of historic times or cultural heritage, or as an example of historic architecture. The term 'monument' is often applied to buildings or structures that are considered examples of important architectural and/or cultural heritage.

Etymology

The origin of the word "monument" comes from the Latin moneo, monere, which means 'to remind', 'to advise' or 'to warn', suggesting a monument allows us to see the past thus helping us visualize what is to come in the future. In English the word "monumental" is often used in reference to something of extraordinary size and power, as in monumental sculpture, but also to mean simply anything made to commemorate the dead, as a funerary monument or other example of funerary art.

Creation and functions

Monuments have been created for thousands of years, and they are often the most durable and famous symbols of ancient civilizations. Prehistoric tumuli, dolmens, and similar structures have been created in a large number of prehistoric cultures across the world, and the many forms of monumental tombs of the more wealthy and powerful members of a society are often the source of much of our information and art from those cultures. As societies became organized on a larger scale, so monuments so large as to be difficult to destroy like the Egyptian Pyramids, the Greek Parthenon, the Great Wall of China, Indian Taj Mahal or the Moai of Easter Island have become symbols of their civilizations. In more recent times, monumental structures such as the Statue of Liberty and Eiffel Tower have become iconic emblems of modern nation-states. The term monumentality relates to the symbolic status and physical presence of a monument.

Degenerate

by: Monuments

Lives dismantled
Piece by piece
shout!
Before our eyes
Powers disguise the truth
while we decline
We are useful idiots
and every time we think it's gonna change they're fuckin with us
Disaster makes them grip
Much harder round our necks
Discontent is all around
Having lost all physical and mental qualities I'm not considered to be normal or desirable I will degenerate back to a mindless fuck like a decaying human parasite Life's suicide
Why have all of our rights been violent in their deaths ?
Why are we are so benign and motionless on request ?
Oh when did they cease to protect individual rights forever we need They're breaking us up from inside
They start by erasing our memories to claim riches like spinal sinews tearing. Old cultures replaced.
Invent new history we forget what really was, in the struggle of man against power man will fall every time
Why have all of our rights been violent in their deaths ?
Why are we are so benign and motionless on request ?
Oh when did they cease to protect individual rights forever we need.
They're breaking us up from inside.
This is the day, this is the day we all die.
This is the day, this is the day we all.
This is the day, this is the day we all die.
This is the day, we leave this sick world behind.
