Fiction works often contain amazing feats of engineering, but how often do we meet the actual engineers? Like, in G.I.Joe, Destro is a totally evil guy, but he sure is an amazing engineer.

In the Discworld books, I always wished Terry Pratchett had made a book about Bloody Stupid Johnson. I want to meet the man behind the inventions!

On an unrelated note, these statues remind me of the giant creatures in the Shadow of the Collossus game. Particularly the last boss.
