Let’s kick things off with that catchy tune from the animated film “The Lion King.”
To be honest, I can’t stand that song. The melody is lovely, but how many naive tourists have met their end believing that jungles are so calm and safe?
“Don’t worry!” – one tourist likely exclaimed, and those were his last words. “The lion charging at us, baring its teeth and moving at lightning speed, isn’t frightening at all. After all, it’s sleeping – just like the song said…”.
If you’re seeking more accurate information about lions, you should check out the creation ShiShi Stone Lion Organic by MrSato for Minecraft Pocket Edition.
“I was working on a daily project for my users on Twitter. It all started quite simply – I thought, ‘Hey, why not create a ShiShi stone lion? I’m thrilled to have begun this project and crafted the lion!
The most challenging part of any project isn’t the construction itself, but rather the initial idea and concept. I spent about two hours just pondering what to do with it,” – explains the creator.
I can relate to that. I also spend around two hours observing my colleague before I start writing or he begins complaining.
The image of the lion that inspired the creator comes from the East. This figure represents a stone lion, regarded as a guardian. These stone statues symbolize lions in Chinese culture, and “ShiShi” translates to “stone lion” in Chinese.
These statues gained such popularity that they became known not only in China but also across other parts of Asia, including Japan, Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam. Just look at them! I want a hundred of these!
However, I will gladly appreciate our author’s build, considering the effort he put into it.
“When I set out to design the stone lion, I was determined to create something you could see in real life,” – the project creator explains.
Our author aimed to ensure that when you looked at his build, you’d instantly recognize that very guardian. And if we delve deeper into details, don’t lions usually come in pairs? “Stone lions mean more to me than mere creations in Minecraft PE. Therefore, a pair for this lion has yet to be created,” – reflects the developer.
This section of the build showcases the male part of the pair. “The stone lion is considered a protector, and the pairing of male and female symbolizes Yin and Yang. Typically, the male faces us, resting a paw on a large sphere, representing peace and collective unity.
“The most beautiful aspect of the entire structure is often the base.”
Indeed, our builder worked diligently on the foundation, adding maximum detail. One might think it’s a massive chest filled with gold! Feel free to stroll past the lion and try to grab some gold! Until next time at your funeral.
“I’m incredibly proud to have created such a piece with utmost accuracy and realism. Hitting the right representation is crucial for players of Minecraft PE to genuinely enjoy my project,” – states the author.
Yes, I believe all users and builders should consider historical accuracy. Otherwise, it’ll be like my project featuring Romans plotting an attack on their iPads.
Maintaining historical accuracy is no easy feat, but our creator believes it is entirely achievable.
“Anyone can do it. But it requires patience, determination, and strong willpower.”
“Try to view the game not just as a game, but as a vast program where you can recreate anything you desire. Plus, you can always craft creations alongside your friends.” 
I conducted a lengthy interview with MrSato and lost my motivation to build anything historical. Remember, you need patience, resolve, and willpower.
And also an eye for detail and fact-checking. It’s high time to start constructing Ancient Egypt. Did they use smartphones back then? Of course! Hieroglyphs are the original emojis!
