Artwork description

On Earth… In the year 4699,

we came across the remains of an ancient civilization during an archaeological dig. Legend has it that once upon a time, there were vast, dense expanses of people. Totanka was their all-powerful god, promising to protect them. By striking the ground with his hooves, he could raise towers to the sky. These ramparts were comforting at first, protecting them by isolating them from hostile nature. Ever more eager for security, the man continued to serve Totanka, who spread her concrete, scorching the ground and all forms of life in her path. In the process, he created great walls that gradually enclosed them forever. Remains of this ancient civilization can still be found today, relics proving the existence of this ancient and fearsome God.
