Question
OmegaScales
Hundreds of long years have passed by,
and so the one with the most wisdom is I.
If struck down, I could no longer stand,
though I am too precious to this land.
You can find several of those resembling me,
but only I am myself, you see.
Some of us you can pass through,
though not those of us who are new.
I tower above most of the crowd,
though it is not the least bit loud.
Within the crowd we are fine,
but our girth won't leave your mind.
What am I?
