Wall of Passed Time

The Wall of Passed Time is an art project undertaken by Gone Walkabout Guild.


Rana developed the idea and design for the wall. Building and construction of the wall is done by Zhukuram. Rana provides all the jugs for the wall and Kaa provides the bricks. Rana and Zhukuram do most of the flaxing and flax processing while Kaa provides wood and boards.

The wall is a lattice work of jugs and bricks and extends across the game map of Egypt. The starting point is at 770,4400 River Plains and extends westward towards the Chariot Stop at Four Corners.

While the totality of the wall cannot be seen due to limitations of draw-distance, running along the road provides an interesting dynamic as the wall continuously pops into view as you move along the roadway.

Statistics and other trivia about the Wall of Passed Time are in the following sections of this page.

The project will continue throughout Tale6.
