 		Some observations:

The top of the image is a pyramid-shaped item. On it is the phrase "A NVMING BLOW FROM WHICH YOV NEVER RECOVER", which uses the old Roman convention of using V=U. A clue?

There are three biblical passages quoted within the structure:
Quote:

2Sa 18:18
Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which [is] in the king's dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Absalom's place.


Quote:

Exd 33:10
And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand [at] the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man [in] his tent door.


Quote:

Rev 3:12
Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, [which is] new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and [I will write upon him] my new name.


Finally, there is a pillar on each side of the structure. There are seven pictures on each pillar. Each picture is a b/w image of a person or pop culture item. There are green or red lines above and below each picture -- they are not mirrored, so they are probably important.

We should also start a list of the items that are shown in the pictures. I suggest something along the lines of:

Left Column:
red line
1. G. Gordon Liddy (confirmed by Dashkat)
green line
2. Almond Joy (confirmed by Dare)
green line
3. barbara walters?
red line
4. Ray Liotta (confirmed by Kender)
red line
5. roy rodgers?
green line
6. Ian McKellen?
green line
7. Jay-Z (confirmed by Kender)
red line

Right Colum
red line
1. regis philbin?
red line
2. Reese Witherspoon (Confirmed by Dare)
redline - purple?
3. O.J. Simpson?
greenline
4. cheeze?
greenline
5. Aegis Gundam (spec by Dare)
greenline
6. charleston chew?
greenline
7. Rolls Royce Silver Ghost (Confirmed by Dare)
greenline

 		I think R5 is more likely to be 'Gundam'. It looks like it could be one of the bazzillion different Gundams, and Gundam is more 'mainstream' than Xenogears.

 		Lets use a system to descibe these pillar blocks:
Code:

1RA    8RH
2GB    9RI
3RC   10BK
4RD   11GL
5RE   12GM
6GF   13GN
7RG   14GO


Where the number signifies the position in the pillars,
the letters R,G & B signify the colors that line the top and bottom of the block
The letters A to O stand for whatever the picture signifies.

So K = O J Simpson, from: http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/1775000/images/_1778111_apoj.jpg

I don't know if this will be useful, it's just a thought..

*edit: explained colors better

Nope, I think it's that lady from Golden Girls - Rue McClanahan / Rhu McClanahan / Patti Leigh. I know it's definitely not Barbara Walters

 		So here is the current list. I've modified Kender's system a little to signify colors and original positions:

Position(L/R#), Color, Index (a-n) - Name (Confirmed by)

L1rA - G. Gordon Liddy (dashkat)
L2gB - Almond Joy (Dare)
L3gC - Rue McClanahan (varin&enaxor)
L4rD - Ray Liotta (Kender)
L5rE - Roy Rogers (Dashkat)
L6gF - Syngman Rhee (Meagain)
L7rG - Jay-Z (aka Shawn Carter)(Kender)

R1rH - Regis Philbin (Kender)
R2rI - Reese Witherspoon (Dare)
R3bJ - Orenthal James Simpson
R4gK - Swiss Cheese?
R5gL - Aegis Gundam (Dare&Kender)
R6gM - Charleston Chew (Varin)
R7gN - Rolls Royce Silver Ghost (Dare)

I'll keep updating this list as we find more.
