Graven images?
Interesting thought occurred to me, that biblical part about making yourself a graven image, and the sun-headed images. Graven is usually taken as sculpted, idols that we'd expect, but it's more properly defined as carved or dug out. Which happens to describe those images, and seeing as there are thousands of them, it might have been a kind of spiritual trek to go to that mountain and carve yourself into the rock, perhaps to make yourself a god, which makes a lot more sense as a sin than simply creating something to visualize god as. Maybe I'm just tired, though. :)
