Почти 70 лет жителям СССР объясняли, что не надо верить никому на Западе, что пропадете сами и страну погубите. Жители СССР только услышав про Мальборо и джинсы:
Т.е. никто не видит что это каая-то херня обмазанная цементом в 20-м веке.
Stonehenge, Stone 60: according to the official version, that little bump sitting on top is a LEGO stud that the lintel sat precisely onto, and Neolithic farmers with no metal pounded and carved this protrusion out of quartz-cemented super-hard stone with stone hammers.
Stone Age LEGO, nothing special! 😏
There's just one little snag: the bottom of the stone.
According to English Heritage, a hole gaped at its base so large that in bad weather several people sheltered under it, so in 1959 they filled the cavity with concrete (that brown block at the bottom), thereby saving the stone from destruction.
Well, it's plain to see that the top, bump and all, has endured more than four thousand years of rain, snow, wind and erosion, yet from below some peculiar force of nature carved a complete cave into it.
Or: at Stonehenge, hot alkaline rain falls from below?!
My uneducated guess: this stone is standing upside down. Why do I say that?
On my cast stones the stud (nub in English) is at the bottom, because that's where the excess fluid leaves the freshly cast stone.
And the top tends to be the weakest, often crumbling straight away, because that's where the material is loosest as a result of the casting technique.
Here, though, the stud sits on top, and the massive erosion is at the bottom. Oops! Upside down!
I suspected the restorers of the fifties of putting it back the wrong way up in 1959 amid the emerging LEGO craze, just so the stud would be on top, "as it should be".
But the experts are innocent: someone may already have flipped it earlier; they only straightened it.
Gentlemen engineers, help me out: how exactly does bottom erosion work? What's the essence of the effect? Natural or artificial?
Until then, my guess remains that this one is indeed standing upside down. CAST! 🧱
Почему 90 лет назад они могли организовать свои крыивкы и упа, а сейчас не могут? Неужели тогда за этим стояли какие-то государства и их спецслужбы?.... Зогадко.
