why do grave stones face the same way?

People are burried facing East.

Well, I think sometimes there are more made and some made bigger. Also, I believe that after a few hundred years, when so many people have died, they just re-use the graves. There are a lot of reserved graves in cemetaries. Still quite a few spaces left. Lots of people get cremated so they take up less space and often, people choose to be buried in the same grave as a loved one, sometimes more than one.

Compare it to other pagan religious sites, or other monolith collections (Easter Island Statues).  It's also keyed in to the Spring Equinox, right?  What other structures around the world are keyed in, and from what period do they date?  Learning about the other sites, especially the ones with recorded purposes, will give you a better idea of what Stonehenge may have been used for.\n\nAnd always remember to double space, have wide margins, and use a large font...

Look like a bauxite mine to me.

It's orbit is closer to a circle than any other with an eccentricity of less that 1%. It also has a retrograde motion (it rotates from east to west instead of west to east). It always shows the same face to earth in the same way the moon does.

According to Rabbi Maurice Lamm (author of "The Jewish Way in Death and Mourning") the custom of placing stones on the monument "probably serves as a reminder of the family's presence. [The evidence that this grave is attended, visited and cared for, is respectful for the deceased - NS]. Also, it may hark back to biblical days when the monument was a heap of stones. Often the elements or roving vandals dispersed them, and so visitors placed other additional stones to assure that the grave was marked."\n\n\n\nAlso, by placing a stone we further participate in the "construction" of the tombstone -- which in itself constitutes a mitzvah.\n\n\n\nIncidentally, it is not a Chabad custom to place stones on tombstones

a stone is a stone is a stone.

They have to strain blood out of the stones first.

No difference, there are one and the same but from different angles

It's not different months, it's times of the months. This is because the of the moon's position in relation to us. The moon always faces us with the same side but that is not always the lit side. When it is a full moon, the sun light is reflecting off of "our" side of the moon. In a new moon, it is reflecting off of the other side.

It's quite possible that you will end up with a diamond-shaped dimple in both the hammer and the anvil, because diamond is harder which means that the iron will deform first.  However, "hard" can also be "brittle", and the diamond might break into a few pieces.  The iron is most unlikely to do this, because "softer" can still be "tougher".

the stone may have been cut with a chisel.  the stones may have been placed by workers moving them up ramps and into position.  it is hard to imagine either of these possibilities, but they are the best explanations that i have read.  chiselling such large blocks(i've read as much as 200 tons) and pushing them up a ramp seems unlikely, because even if u had the stones on site(which they probably didn't), building a ramp that could support that much weight, and to that height, would be just as difficult a building the pyramid in the first place.  it's also hard to understand how they had so much time to work on pyramids, when they should have been fishing and farming.  unless you think aliens or magic was involved the best answer is "with lots of hard work" and maybe more importantly a long time.

Babies skulls are made up multiple bones that fuse as they get older.  This is why babies heads have "soft spots"

The rotation of the moon just happens to be in the same sync as its orbit around the earth, so we only see one side. From the looks of the moon, though, it's speculated that the moon may have orbited faster or rotated faster, etc because there are crater marks on the earth side also, just not as many.\n\nActually, the moon is locked in its orbit so it always faces the Earth. The Moon is NOT perfectly round...technically its shaped like an egg due to the effects of gravity from the earth and possibly too when the moon was formed bilions of years agao after a huge meteor crashed into the earth and some of the Earth's molten core spewed out into space. Because the Earth is more massive than the Moon, it pulls on the Moon, "stretching" it closer to the Earth, throwing the shape and axis off, causing the moon unable to rotate on its own axis. This same effect is seen by the moons of other massive planets like Jupiter and Saturn. The same is effect is also seen with Mercury due to its close proximity the Sun and its massive gravitational effects.

because of gravity, pulling inward with the same force in all directions, giving them a round shape.\n\nyou look very pretty in your avatar by the way ;)

Actually, the rock face was stronger in  the middle in order to support such a robust figurehead.  Did you ever notice that when\nyou are looking at them, they are looking back?  Kinda freaky !
