My favorite piece was stone hedge. Many mysteries lie within
it. I love the attention to detail in the placement of the structures, and how
they line with the sun at different times of the year. It amazes me how such
large materials were able to be moved around with such primitive technology.
Most of the material was moved from areas far away. Everything is aligned in a
perfect circle, and there is such good symmetry and balance in the overall structure.
I also love how it corresponds with the Durrington Wall structures. Everything
is so symbolic. Even the materials being used are symbolic. Stone is used to
represent the afterlife. Many questions arise from these structures. Such as what
kind of spiritual events took place there .I try to imagine the type of ceremonies
the people who built it had and what kind of people they were. I also wonder
how they got the materials over there, and how long did it take them. I try to
picture myself coming up with an idea like that and think of what kind of tools
I would use to build it if I was very limited on resources and technology.
