Two great (almost a century) old photos, thanks for posting them Rhiannon. This one gives a good illustration of the leverage method of raising massive stones which I imagine has basically stayed the same through the centuries.	Posted by tjj 19th August 2012ce


Great photo, there does feel like a real connection with the distant past in this one.	Posted by bladup 19th August 2012ce
