Have you thought, who were models for the angel figures and statues, what are found in many old churches? Who were those women and men, who gave their shape for those sculptures? The angel sculptures are portraying the ordinary-looking people, who have the simple haircut, and the kind looks on their faces. How the sculptor choose those persons? What criteria was used, when the persons asked to stand as the model? Were they nuns or monks, or noble women or men? Or were they orphans, who were some way special? Did they get salaries for that job? And are those statues made that people could recognize those persons, who are trapped in the stone?
In some theories, those sculptures are portraying people, who are suitable spouses for noble people, because in those positions, must everybody know, what they were doing. But as we know those figures are very fascinating, and there are many interesting thoughts about them. One of the most exciting thought about the angel figures was given by H.G Wells, the early Science Fiction writer.
That theory or thought is that in some of those statues is preserved the humans, who are something special. In fact, I don't remember was behind this theory H.G Wells, William Shakespeare or somebody else. That theory bases the fact that sometimes in the carbon mining in Wells have been found living frogs inside the carbon bites, and there are theories, that those angel-sculptures are made for giving those persons, whose pictures are trapped in the sculpture forever live.
In this case, the person, who would put in that sarcophagi would first be covered with carbon, what would clean the liquids, and then the core of the calcium would cover that body. After that, the embalmed body would cover by stronger stone. In some ideas, the person can be embalmed by the thin plastic core, and then this person could refresh to live after centuries. But if we would think, how reasonable this thing could be, we must say, that those frogs, what are found inside the carbon bites could also be fake, but this kind of things is interesting to think in the morning mist. Maybe Egyptians tried that thing when they embalmed their mummies, and they might think, that technology would allow the life forever.
