I believe the answer is:

statue

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'timeless act' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'rock god?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'or' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for statue that I've seen before include "As created by 3dn" , "Use tat (anag.)" , "Carved representation" , "Noble's rank or dignity" , "A carved or moulded effigy" .)
