Why is Moses up there, why not a picture of Jesus in the center, since most Christians think this country was founded on Christianity. Judeo-Christian is an oxymoron, since the Jews are doing their best to get rid of Christianity , and apparently they are succeeding.
Created in bas relief of white Vermont marble by seven different sculptors, the plaques each measure 28 inches in diameter. The 11 profiles in the eastern half of the chamber face left and the eleven in the western half face right, so that all look towards the full-face relief of Moses in the center of the north wall.
