This project is based on an Ancient Egyptian God Nun or Nu a member of the Ogdoad or the eightfold, which are 8 primordial Gods. Nun is a personification of the primordial waters, chaos, that existed before creation. He is sometimes depicted as a anthropomorphic deity with a frog's head. I played up the frog aspect and made him look a bit serpent like as well.
The entrance to the temple is a Pylon which act as a large monumental gate where one must traverse through the primordial waters to enter into the inner chambers of the temple. The layout is inspired by real Egyptian temples though no real world counterpart has been discovered dedicated to Nun as of yet. Once you travel behind the statue and enter through the waterfall you are cleansed of order and enter into chaos itself. Or you just get really wet and hope the water doesn't have some bad bacteria in it.
I want to thank Tyler Bourne a ton for all the helpful suggestions and feedback on this project. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot.
