Talk:Louis XIV's Sundial/@comment-5782071-20170212035238/@comment-1674153-20170212040216

Louis XIV was of the mindset that, like how the Earth revolves around the sun, France and the rest of the world revolved around him. He was also a big patron of the arts, and there are plenty of artistic pursuits of the time period that portray him as godly or a giver of divine intervention. If there was anybody in history that would create an artifact that built a monument of memories that could draw the user into proverbial self-absorption, it'd be him.
