Real-life angreal?

[Guest Stud]

Okay, so I have been rereading the WoT series in preparation for AMoL and I have been reading about Rand's little man-with-a-sword-on-his-lap angreal. Then I saw this article about a statue found by the Nazis many years ago. I know it doesn't fit the angreal description exactly, but I couldn't help making the connection. Although I doubt it will assist its holder in drawing upon the One Power, you never know. Might be worth a try. I mean, the thing is carved from a meteorite. I've seen enough movies and read enough fantasy novels to know it must have some kind of special powers.

yeah...carrying a 23.5lb statue into battle will make you special for sure though.

 

on a side note....it'll be interesting if Berelain finds that mangreal.

That's really neat! Life imitates art :)

 

In addition to this statue, there is also the famous Black Stone, which is also from a meteorite.

Neat, yes it looks like Rand's angreal, though it is allot bigger, Rand's artifact is small enough to fit in his hand.

Fantasy lovers, New Agers, everyone love meteorites. :D

So, Angreal are made from metoerites? That explains why they are so rare... Though it doesn't explain the CK, unles AS Astronauts went to space and harvested the astroid belt.

I thought and angreal of our day would be a round of steroids. They give you strentgh,speed, and agility, Massive power, endurance, and tons of anger. That's an angreal of our day.
