@@dannyspina5715 You might find the topic of Proto Indo-European religion interesting. They were a people that lived on the Eurasian steppes 5,000 years ago and nearly half of people today speak a language descended from their language. Many of their gods also got passed down to later daughter cultures in various forms. Their chief deity was called Dyeus Phter, literally translated as the Sky Father. This got passed down to various cultures, for example Zeus Pater (later just Zeus) in Greece, Jupiter in Rome, Tyr in Ancient Scandinavia, and Dyaus Pita in ancient India.

My temples stand empty, lost in the forest, shrouded by greenery, strangled by vines. No prayers are spoken, no songs are sung. No one kneels down to me. Everyone 's gone. When no prayers are spoken, and no songs are sung. I've been abandoned . Where do forgotten Gods go? written by Al Foucault

It kinda doesn't make much sense. The skull is leaning on the chin, which would not be a normal resting position since it would rotate to lay on its side/face due to sheer weight. The skeleton is also in contact with seawater, meaning that erosion would work fast and easy, meaning this couldn't be too old, which I think is the whole point of the image - unknown dead gods of another age. Never mind the bad anatomy. None of it makes any actual sense, and you want some amount of sense to instill a feeling of the fantastical. This is why AI can be so uncanny across every single subject/theme/aesthetic, it doesn't "understand" what its portraying. It's half way there though, that's for sure.

@@kimlee6643 to me all of this helped the picture. "Good" anatomy would have suggested a big human, but this is supposed to be something entirely different. Whatever its bones are made of survived the seawater with no issue, adding to the mystery but also implying a strength and long-livedness that would have been far beyond humanity. And real artists typically make the mistake of not asking how a skeleton stayed together the way it did throughout the centuries. Aside from the way it rests on its chin you could have asked what still keeps the arm perfectly in line with the shoulder, if all connective tissue has seemingly disappeared. You´d be correct to ask that question, but since I´m (and likely most people are) so used to this error, it doesn´t even detract from an image anymore. In a video game I might just assume the thing is going to stand up and fight me at some point.

I love the comment section on ambient music videos, like it can be something like bird sounds, rain, or something like this the comment sections are all just amazing because nobody has anything to leave hate comments about it's great. hope everyone has a great day :)

For reasons unknown to me, The Gods declared us “Not meant to be.” Keeping you away from me, Two continents and a vast sea. The foundation of my very bones was shaken. Two continents and a vast sea, To keep you away from me? That’s the absolute least it would’ve taken…

Of greater days come and gone, this fact remains true. That time marches ever on, around, over, and right through. O be it said from atop mountains high, and down to valleys far below. That time crumbles things by and by, rendering all touched one day hollow. Grind down the mountain, sheer the peaks, reduced one day to sands. And echo unto one that seeks, answers in forgotten lands. Know that one truth remains unshaken, hallowed above all. The ones perceived divine were mistaken, for in the end even gods fall.

We killed all the gods, for their were an obstacle in our endeavors. But now, in a world without gods, there is nothing and nobody who cares for what is important. Our songs are about victory and massacre, but only the madmen and the fanatics can prosper. Only the strongest can decide among the red rivers and the ashes. Live!!! Said the last of the gods.

...I am soooo grateful... I had a very, very melancholic mindset this morning, had been sad about so many things that go wrong on our beautiful planet because of mankind, and even my dog-companions couldn't change it. I wandered the forest behind my home half of the day, sat down for a meditation after that and found THIS stunningly beautiful piece of yours, dear Athena. It soothed the pain in my heart and my companions are lying around me slumbering peacefully now while we are listening to your music... Thank you. Love, peace and blessings from a small piece of ancient Celtic forest in Western Germany from a loner who tries to listen to the soft whispers of the old gods and what they left to us every day and night in selfmade loneliness. Blessed be everyone. 🖤🤍🙏🏼

2:27am. Rain falls outside my window. I am neither tired nor awake. Peace. 🖤

Let's take a moment of silence..... for the beautiful music, the comment section, and all the poets who commented,...... I love you guys ✨✨✨🎶🎶🎶☺️

In the shadows deep, where souls doth weep, The greater minds do wander and seek, Through the dark and the forgotten tales, They tread, unraveling ancient veils. In the thick air, ripe fruits' scent doth cling, A heavenly choir in whispers sing, Of journeys past, of souls untold, Of mysteries lost, of stories bold. With hands raised high, they lock the gate, To realms unseen, where fates await, Where souls and minds intertwine, In the cosmic dance, a timeless sign.

Hauntingly beautiful. I rarely felt so alone tho or had a stronger wish to get to places only excisting in my mind. If there are gods they are propably lonely too. Or maybe the only god is time, but anyway I am glad I spent mine listening to this.

"Maybe the only god left is time' words of the wise❤

"For those left behind, memory unforgotten, honors and values continue to be carried on"

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" No thing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away. - "Ozymandias" by Percy Shelley

Not only is the music mesmerizing, but this image is to die for! Holy cow....

Putting on my headphones and clicking the link, I was instantly transported to a hidden place deep within myself. It felt like a secluded area of my soul, though I don't quite understand how something so deep can also feel so vast. Maybe the artist who created this music could explain it. As I listened, a soft, feminine voice whispered in the background. It felt like there was a message, something important that needed to be said. The message carried the weight of existence itself, making me feel temporary and small. Life is fleeting, and in that fleetingness, I search for all the experiences I haven't yet had. Neither my home, family, love, nor work have given me even a glimpse of the feeling I get from this music - a feeling of dissolving and disappearing. It's a hidden mystery, a distant call from my soul. I want to be pulled further in, to drown deeper in its dark, distant paradise.

Athena - I don't think anyone would really mind if you keep on the ethereal kick forever! This is my first time on your channel. Wow, got a lot of work done today with you in my ears. THANKS!

The fog creeps in on silent paws, A shroud for giants, long since gone. bleached bones lie scattered on the shore, A silent testament to a power unknown. The sea gnaws at the edges of the world, Reclaiming what it once let go. The wind whispers secrets through the ribs, Of battles fought, and storms below. The world moves on, indifferent, To the titans that once walked the earth. But in the hush of the fog-bound beach, Their memory is a haunting worth.

On an ethereal kick recently - hope it helps :)

I think "dead" stands for dead in this sense. Imagine all the gods of ancient civilizations that met their end by unknown and unspeakable horrors. What could be destructive and twisted enough, that could kill an entity that is eternal and all-powerful? And if this "thing" is capable of killing Gods, then what hope is there for the rest of us?

Amidst the swirling mists and the eternal chill of the deserted shore, Mara stood alone, her red cloak a stark contrast against the monochromic landscape. Before her lay the gargantuan skull of a creature long forgotten by time, its bones bleached and brittle, a silent sentinel of the sands. The air was heavy with the scent of salt and decay, a reminder of the impermanence of all things, even the titans of old. This was a place of endings, where the past whispered through the fog, carrying tales of fallen empires and vanquished leviathans. As Mara approached the colossal skull, her footsteps soft on the wet sand, she felt the weight of history pressing upon her. Each bone was a chapter of a story too vast to comprehend, each hollow eye socket a gaze into the abyss of time. She reached out, her fingers tracing the lines of the ancient skull, feeling the echoes of the beast's last roar as it succumbed to the inevitable embrace of death. This was not just a graveyard of bones; it was a crucible of life's fleeting triumphs and inevitable defeats, a testament to the courage to live even in the face of oblivion. With a final glance at the skeletal behemoth, Mara turned back, her spirit renewed by the solemn majesty of the remnants. She walked away, the red of her cloak fading into the mist, a fleeting yet vibrant spark in the vast, unyielding grey.

this is the most soothing thing. definitely keeping it forever.

I saw giants carved in perfect proportions on a rocky set of mountains. They were exactly this size and their muscle development was unbelievable. Just imagining living in that time scared the life outta me because their so huge and strong they would crush me and not even know it. The feeling was so profound as if I was one of them. Perhaps a form of Neplim.

There were giants on the earth in those days, and also after that, when the son’s of God came in unto the daughter’s of men, and bore children to them, mighty men of old men of renown.

I'd appreciate more vocals such as this. It is truly beautiful, perfect for contemplation!

"You would dream the dream of living the life that you are actually living today. That would be within the infinite multiplicity of choices you would have. Of playing that you weren't God. Because the whole nature of the godhead, according to this idea, is to play that he is not." ~ The Dream of Life - Alan Watts

Carcosa walked solemnly along the beach, his long red cloak nearly grazing the water as it hit the shore. The air was heavy, and filled with the smell of rotting pomegranate. As he approached the massive former divine being, now reduced to a mere shell, he considered what may have brought down such an impossible creature. He made his way towards the skull, and began reaching up, placing a foot at the base of its jaw. With some effort, he managed to pull himself to the crevice where a nose had presumably been. An orange light glows within. Carcosa squeezed through a hole in the center, and crawled into the spot a brain once resided. He reached a hand out towards the light.

This takes me to the right state of mind and place
