What's your favourite fact about Stonehenge?

Hi anon! So glad you asked. I guess my favorite fact(s) about Stonehenge is the precision engineering of the outer lintel circle. The outer uprights originally supported curved lintels that formed almost a perfect circle. Each lintel had to be carved to the right shape and each had two depressions carved out of the underside that matched with bumps they made on the uprights in order to keep them in place. Everything had to be precise to an amazing degree in order for all of them to be set firmly in place to form the circle. But maybe my favorite fact is that although the monument is on uneven ground the circle of lintels was almost perfectly flat and even, so each upright had to be set at just the right height to make that possible, and all that was done at least four thousand years ago. Stonehenge is just a ruin now with many of the stones missing and more fallen but originally it was unlike anything else in the British Isles. Yes there were passage tombs, including incredibly sophisticated ones like Newgrange but Stonehenge was a different kind of monument altogether. When Romans arrived they were in awe and it drew them as tourists just as it draws people today. I wish I could see it as they did.

Castle House, Kirkliston.

Dating back to the late 17th century, I love the lintel above the door on this house.

Its a marriage lintel, these are usually carved with the initials, coat of arms, etc. of a newly married couple, usually displaying the date of the marriage, in this case 1682.

"I always mess up mantle/mantel," I say to myself. "There has to be a better way to remember which is which."

*ten seconds later*

"Oh! I'll just remember that mantel is like lintel!" I continue, completely ignoring how unhinged it is to remember the spelling of a semi-obscure word by relating it to a much more obscure one.
