You look but you don't see! Now you will see …
Today we will talk about the hidden symbols in the architecture of St. Petersburg. Perhaps I will open the door to the dark secrets of our civilization.
Surely you are aware that in the architecture of St. Petersburg such an element as a ball is used. There are a lot of balls in St. Petersburg, but some of them are not very simple.
The first difficult ball is on the roof of Singer's house and, according to the official version, symbolizes a globe (they say, Singer's company was going to work all over the world).

Further balls in the architectural complex of the Admiralty. Here the balls symbolize the celestial sphere, so we are told. Why would they lie, right?
"Sea nymphs supporting the celestial sphere" at the foot of the central tower.
Now let's take a closer look at these balls. And in the first and second cases, the balls encircle two stripes. What kind of belt is this, are these two equators or what? Nonsense. Yes, nonsense if we try to see the Earth here. But this is not the Earth …

Still can't see? And so?

Here are two more Jupiters.
