Only in that the builders were constrained by practical problems like gravity , the monument could not be expected to survive if the heavier end was much lower than the ligher end just as a a Stonehenge lintel would eventually slip mortise and tenon notwithstanding , if it was not level . But the practicalities still allow for innovative design , a level capstone is one option . Reply | with quote |  24th July 2012ce 21:06 In reply to: Re: A shot in the dark (thesweetcheat) |
