And i wonder, wonder about all kinds of things
[ wonder who designed Men an Tol
I wonder what season they started to build it, what tools they had to work with, what the ate, did they , could they work if it was raining or snowing? Where there women and children working?
Did they get paid, and was it with money , or food and clothing, maybe tools?
I wonder what they would think if they could see their work today.
This is Mên-an-Tol, in Cornwall, England (in the Cornish Language literally means "the hole stone"). It's a small formation of standing stones (small is the word - the two tall standing stones are just over 1 metre/ 3 1/2 ft high and the hole is just big enough for a person to squeeze through). It's thought to be a 4000 yrs old, and was, maybe an ancient 'calendar' or the remains or a tomb's entrance.
Mên-an-Tol is said to have a fairy or pixie guardians who can make miraculous cures. In one story, a changeling baby was put through the stone in order for the mother to get the real child back. Evil pixies had changed her child, and the ancient stones were able to reverse their evil spell. Local legend claims that if at full moon a woman passes through the holed stone seven times backwards, she will soon become pregnant. Another legend is that passage through the stone will cure a child of rickets. For centuries, children with rickets were passed naked through the hole in the middle stone nine times
