Shared on Wed, 10/06/2010 - 08:23How in the world did I start using the word lithostat to name the upright stones in Stonehenge? I think it was because "lith" is in many of these ancient terms I've been dealing with. Trilithon, neolithic and megalithic.
I should have been using the word ORTHOSTAT. An orthostat is a large stone set upright. I think lithostat has something to do with drugs, which I can't use as an excuse for this blunder. I shall edit the other blogs for consistency.
I am so sorry to lead you astray.
Also, this just in. That nagging scale problem is still nagging me. As I've said, the average size of an Stonehenge outside ring orthostat is 1.1 x 2.1 x 4.1 metres. If I use Forge's 1x2x4 block to represent 1.1 x 2.1 x 4.1 metres, the diameter of the ring is not what I have now. My son was trying to get that message across but I'm so thick. So 108 feet equals 32.92 metres. Divide that by 4.1 metres and you get a 8.03 stone length diameter in Forge. It shouldn't take too long to check and possibly remedy.
Doh! Again.
