Mountains will crumble and temples will fall, and no man can survive its endless call. What is it?
Common Wrong Answers
“Earthquake”
An earthquake is a natural disaster that can cause mountains to crumble and temples to fall, but it is not described as having an 'endless call' or being an unstoppable force like time.
“Gravity”
Gravity is a fundamental force that affects structures and can lead to their collapse, but it does not have the inherent quality of being endless or a call that cannot be survived.
“War”
While war can lead to the destruction of mountains and temples, it is not a constant or endless force in the same way time is; it is also a human-made phenomenon.
