the will to build it

Some of the most recognizable and well known structures of our earth are also the most mysterious. Stonehenge for example is one encircled by speculation and possible theories. Some of the more accepted theories being ones that are based on religious use,it being a cemetery or a time keeping mechanism. Perhaps one of these theories is correct but so much of this monument's history remains a mystery.

Who made it? Why did they make it? HOW DID IT GET THERE?

Archeologists and amateurs alike offer their theories, some proven, but most of them not. 

Charles Moffat offers up some of his own insight here.


"All they needed in truth was the hands to carry the stones, the tools to cut the stones, the brilliance of their engineers and above all else:
The will to build it."  

So maybe we don't have all the answers to our questions but one theme endures- The will to build it. At the time these structures were being constructed current technologies obviously did not exist.But the desire to engineer something grand did. This spirit is a common thread, past- present.Design solutions aren't always going to be straight forward but if there is a will to build it and a brilliant diligent mind behind the project, it can be accomplished.
