Description

Since ancient times, Oracles were those who predicted the future and tried to interpret the dreams of the kings and emperors of their time. Many political figures in the past wanted to play the role of Oracles for their country and their people. Some tried in vain, while others were successful for short periods of time. In the end most of their ideas appeared to be forgotten. The monuments that these leaders built according to their ambitions are either destroyed or neglected. For example, Stalin’s monument was beheaded after his demise. Lenin’s monument showing the way towards delightful communism is being pushed aside. Yet a more recent example is Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi [former] president. Time proved him wrong in his desire to occupy sovereign states.
