"Stones" have important meanings, hard, tough and sometimes upstanding and always lasting
for a long time, although sometimes rolling, rarely fertile but sometimes hiding minerals.
However, I also had that american meaning in mind, who knows, maybe that too goes back
to ancient history?? (I have actually tried to keep an eye open for any ancient stoned behavior
with little luck)

One common point was maybe the smoking caves of that oracle??

Another maybe that wife who (couldn't but look back and) turned into a stone??

Anyway, building symbolic tower idols, almost reaching the skies, seem to have ended
for a while until fire regulations are updated, elevator shafts redesigned,etc..

But it still works to have the masses bend their heads both upwards and then kind of
downwards and feel small on the outside, great on the inside, looking down??
