They're dumbphones. Using them literally makes you dumber, because you're a rat who can whap the cocaine-lever anytime you want, and so you do, over and over and over.
Very cool. I had just read about another strange one in Laos called Plain of Jars. Hundreds of stone jars up to 9 feet diameter and weighing 11 tons and from a quarry 5 miles away, dating over 1000 BC. Their folklore is they were cups from giants left behind after they built the mountains and valleys. Must have been beer mugs is my guess.
Stonehenge is interesting. The majority of the rocks were transported from an area of Wales over 150 miles away thousands of years ago.No. Road or river link.
I once read that in the post Georgian period creating follies was such a fashion that it was normal to create mystical architectural structures to out do others, also many grand stately homes in the U.K. were bastardised from the remains of rival family houses that were often bought in fire sales.
There are abandoned, half-excavated limestone blocks are various ancient quarry sites in Egypt.
Seems to me that when people are not watching TV and using their smart phones all day, that they can get a lot done.
