Sracked Stone Walls

Over a span of 2,000 years, monuments have been added to Stonehenge. While most are buried today, they are still visible and well preserved. Stonehenge’s features include the Aubrey Holes, 350 burial mounds, Cursus, Woodhenge, Durrington Walls Henge, Stonehenge Avenue, and West Amesbury Henge. The Aubrey Holes were the first monuments in Stonehenge, built around 3,000 BCE. The Aubrey Holes were 56 pits inside of a circular enclosure formed by a bank and a ditch. Its main purpose was to store cremated ashes of dead bodies. After the Aubrey Holes were made, bluestones and sarsens were dragged from long distances to construct the circular stone monument. The 350 burial mounds were long barrows meant to cremate and bury the dead. The Cursus, built from 3600 to 3400 BCE, were two long earthwork enclosures. Both Woodhenge and Durrington Walls Henge were timber circle monuments built in 2,300 and 2,500 BCE, respectively. Stonehenge Avenue was an ancient road that lead to Stonehenge monument and was built from 2,500 to 1,700 BCE. Finally, West Amesbury Henge was a stone circle monument built in 2,400

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall is made of Black Granite. The design of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial was a contest. Within the contest different U.S citizen submitted design ideas for the memorial and 8 different artists judges the entries in order to pick the best one. The wall was created by Maya Ying Lin. The wall is not extremely tall but rather is longer than most normal monuments. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall invites those visiting it to come closer and in contact with it. This is due to the fact that the print on the wall is small and visitors can also do a rubbing or tracing of the different names on the wall. The Vietnam Memorial Wall was an intentional monument since it was planned out and designed with a purpose of commemorating

Although you may think of the Great Wall as a unified stone wall, it is not that. First of all, the Great Wall is actually a series of walls built over 2500 years. Second, the stone wall that we know today was built under the Ming Dynasty,

Let us begin by going back to a time before the Great Wall, The Great Pyramids, and even Stonehenge. A time that could not even fathom the thought of metal tools and tall buildings. This time is the Neolithic period between 3180-2500 BCE and the location is the west coast of the mainland of Orkney in Scotland. There you will find the ancient ruins of Skara Brae. During the winter of 1850 a massive storm hit the coast of Orkney. A combination of fierce winds and high tides stipped the top layer of soil from the ground to reveal the outline of an old building. Intrigued by the outlines the local laird, William Watt of Skill, started excavating the site too see what he could find. In 1868 the site was abandoned for unknown reasons and in later

Every wall has its own style, length, material, and purpose. Like the Great Wall of China. "It's 26 feet tall and a staggering 1,200 miles long" (Markon). It is made

Overall I think the best type of castle for the Normans to have built is a stone castle.

Burial vaults were once formed by two parallel dry-stone walls, six to eight feet apart, six to eight feet high. The vaults had a stone slab or corbeled roof, a back wall, and a dry-stone facade with a portal closed by a door (or slab of marble or slate) inscribed, when used for burial, with the names of the interred. The entire structure was banked with earth and sod and

The Stonehenge was during the Neolithic Megaliths period. Megaliths means Big stone, and monoliths means a single piece of rock placed within a monument. The Stonehenge is exactly that a Big stone placed within a monument. Located in Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire,England is the Stonehenge. The first phase of the Stonehenge was built around 3100 B.C.E. The second phase started about 100-200 years later and the third phase started about 400-500 years after that. The grand total build time for the Stonehenge took about 1500 years. The Stonehenge is one of the most well known monument. Most people think that the monument is a mystery and do not know why it was made. It has lots of tourists because everyone wants to see how large it really is in person.The

Goegrids were used as the reinforcement in the stone column. Stone column was casted by compacting stone chips in layers of spacing equal to the diameter of the stone column (5cm) as specified in section 3.2. and the circular geogrids were introduced between the layers by pushing the circular geogrids to the desired position with another pipe of diameter less then the casing pipe. The same procedure was followed in the case of 2.5cm spacing (D/2) of geogrids but blows were given after every two

Retaining walls are used on steep slopes around homes, parks, and walkways around river areas. These are built to keep the landscape and dirt from sliding down the embankment causing less structural issues with homes due to

You must transport the brick slabs up the mountain to the Wall construction site. As a sort of foundation of the Wall, either the mountain itself can be used, or some of the other materials listed before. The brick slabs are then delicately placed on the Wall’s foundation in an outer layer formation. Lastly, you can place soil, earth, or anything really inside to fill the space (Even though it was done in China, I do not recommend using dead bodies to fill the inside). Once you’ve completed both the outer layer and the inside filling, it should look like the structure pictured

The word was first used in the late 16th Century and also has a German equivalent of Brustwehr which means breastwork or rampant.
