Monuments reflect anxiety, not power or pride, and they are a medium for a communication near collapse. It is claimed that there must be both a sender and a receiver in that communication, and that the message tries to negate a given opinion. Periods of great culture and great monuments are also periods of conflicts in a delicate state of balance.
