The Sultan's Elephant

[@marciacola]

Great, thank you for shearing this wonderful thing.

[@PyrozPlayground]

This is the most amazing, beautiful, disturbing, wonderful, eerie thing I've ever seen. 0_o

[@odesseus]

Amazing! What a wonderful creation! I love it! I wish I could see it!

[@Flalaski]

that's awesome. especially the throat singing music in the background.

[@ianmarkd.gestuveo4172]

SO NOSTALGIC!!!

[@ozzyscruggs1]

This is impressive. I'm watching without blinking. I would LOVE to see what these folks could do with the characters from various Dali or Bosch mindscapes.

[@christiantorres7866]

Absolutely incredible

[@4SCARECROWS]

Breathtaking... and it inspires the imagination.

[@mellaniee]

beautiful!

[@zukomomo]

magnificent. when he trumpeted partway through, a chill went up my spine and I suddenly felt like I did when I was a four-year-old at DisneyWorld. also, I like that it's a little steampunk-ish.

[@hudstar2011]

wow - that is incredible. What workmanship!

[@peteranton]

wonderful, beautiful, amazing! if it were only made of gold!

[@lovinnia]

very intelligent mechanism.. natural smooth moves

[@delachendezon]

I did see this show in Antwerpen it was great

[@TheGreenDuck3000]

it was so amazing i can remember still it looked quite real

[@scruffypete1]

That's an amazing machine there. But you have to say the real one is even more amazing because it doesn't need several operators to make it work. The elephant can operate itself. And it also has emotions and an intelligence too.

[@PyrozPlayground]

@APBriggs2009 That's awesome that you actually got to see this... :) I wanna see it one day. It's on my list of things to do before some crazy crap happens. hehe

[@taxpayeranthem]

Awesome!

[@absnp]

tis is soooooooooo cool!...

[@runta07]

Where is here? amazing.and good music.

[@luctuk04]

@weatherboxlisp It is damn cool, a highly worked on project, AND a piece of art! The greatest engineers were artists. Example: Filippo Brunellesci, who engineered structures and buildings, including the Duomo of Florence, other cathedrals, and one of the first hospitals for displaced and abandoned children! This is where art meets innovation, creation... what is realized is the great outcome of this natural marriage between art and science.

[@earlgene]

mim22070 & funkwalker thanks for the coms, as you now know its a great big spider.....so get your arses to liverpool and come and see it. it should be a great show...

[@plutonij238]

потрясающе

[@Hyperboi4evr]

[@misssiera311]

this is so cool...whats the story behind this and the giant little girl?

[@rack25]

bellisimo!!!!

[@Rbyrne919]

I heard it was the same thing. I'll be there on the 6th, should be awesome.

[@rebecca8877ify]

dear all, very very remarkable !! i'd like to know the religion meaning of this representation. please tell me if someone knows. tks!!

[@0IIIIII]

I didn't think anyone would understand the reference, but I know that KZbin is a very diverse and large community.

[@cazzdesilva6280]

OMG. Words fail me.

[@YungaRanger]

That's what you call one MAHOOSIVE elephant

[@cammo6901]

i wanna ride in that thing!!!! this is so cool. i want to see a giant puppet in real life!

[@Convoy947]

Wow

[@bobjones5579]

like to know the the sound track from the orginal????

[@Silentsam90]

@infraball They were tired of being invited all over the world to perform with it (not suprising considering its complexity and that it weighed 50 tons) and they didn't want to be known only because of the elephant. The Giant Girl is still being used though.

[@csrtitus]

take it down, take it down, take it down!!!!

[@PD1968]

I can't wait too see the Liverpool version of this,apparently it's 20ft bigger than this.

[@Jflux69]

Kind of reminds me of the giant rendered elephants in the Lord of the Rings films...

[@BL1TZEN]

there 'were'. They were called Mammoths. :)

[@SecularFelinist]

Dear Santa...

[@laughingman1447]

The next wars will be fought with robo-elephant tanks.

[@Silentsam90]

Its pretty damn amazing, I wish I'd seen it at the time. Too bad they destroyed it.

[@metav3rvse]

This is why we can't have AT-ATs.

[@laceyschism]

@sirdoug3, same family, NO. high intelligence YES.

[@jiggajz5]

[@chimp1965]

[@acorniv]

Could you be more jealous?

[@SQLinjected]

@gargara77 So I take it you give all the money you would spend on your entertainment to African children?

[@laceyschism]

@rebecca8877ify, @rebecca8877ify, not everythinf has to have a religious meaning, geeze!

[@earlgene]

[@Absolynth]

FUckin eh

[@darkmasteralucard]

SNAKE! your mission is infiltrate the parade and destroy METAL GEAL ELPHANT

[@LuckyIzzy659]

lol very creepy in a way

[@SilentNight65]

Ha, for a second I thought that was a real elephant. I was going to rip you for animal abuse.

[@wolfy5k]

i went and saw this a few days ago at the gallery in Nantes, France. maybe im wrong, i get its art, but does no1 else thing this maybe a slight waste of time, money (2.5 million euros) and resources. There are more taht just the elephant, but they all seem every pointless...

[@wolfy5k]

yea i never sed it wasnt art and culture, but come on, paint a picture, don't waste so much. think what could have been done, with 2.5 million euros worth of resources. im not normally some charity freak, but that coulda gone to better use.....

[@gargara77]

How many african child can saved with this useless money eater furry machine?
