Value Points :
inscription on the pedestal - Ozymandias is invincible - proud of his fame and glory - got his own statue erected - statue shattered - nothing remains except vast stretches of sand - time is the ultimate destroyer.
Detailed Answer :
Power and glory do not assure immortality and durability against all powerful time and nature. Everything in the world perishes with the passage of time and under the powerful influence of the elements of nature. Even the mightiest of the mighty becomes one with the dust. No trace of them is left on the sands of time. Ozymandias, a powerful king of Egypt was proud of his glory and achievements. He desired to immortalize his name and got a statue built. On the pedestal of the statue, an inscription was carved out about the power of Ozymandias that Ozymandias was invisible. But nothing could stand against time and the powerful elements of nature. The broken statue symbolizes the destruction caused by time and nothing remains except vast stretches of sand. No doubt, time is the ultimate destroyer
