Stark on the Wilshire skyline
Lean the monoliths of mystery
Marshalled by the Heel Stone
Sentinels guard a secret
Which mocks the mind of man
~
Huddles of academics
With puny trowels and theories
Probe the dusty chalk lands
Scratching for the key
That picks the lock of time
~
Come all you followers
In your robes of worship
Circle round the blue stones
As ghosts of the ancients
Dance in the Pagan fire

Looks like the brilliance of the brilliant could get a "fix" on the Stonehenge to me. The answer to their intensive plodding could very well be something very simple, "we did it for fun stacking rocks. Big rocks, but still rocks."

Nice aspect Cari.
Lots of great images of those in the time.
