History provides many records of the human fascination with images and imagination. For example, when the Hebrew people in their Exodus experienced numerous frustrations after Moses, their leader, had disappeared in a cloud on a mountain top, they melted the earrings of their wives and daughters and fashioned themselves a golden calf. The Bible reads, Then they cried, \u27This is your God, O Israel, who brought you out of the land of Egypt\u27 (Exodus 32:4)
