Mr H Interesting, so do you believe the monument was abandoned during construction after the back slab fell? Considering the expertise in juggling multi-ton lumps of rock shown by the rest of the monument, it would seem that a back-slab re-erection would not have been too much trouble. As you correctly state, we'll never know. You can almost hear the builders - "Easy, easy, just a couple of (insert period correct length units here) more, nearly there, CRUNCH! - OH BU@@ER!"
