    "When a gap in historical knowledge occurs, people tend to fill it in with whatever they want to believe. Since the modern age began, the people of the village of Carnac have tried to fill in the missing pieces of 4,000 prehistoric stones, perfectly lined up in a series of fields in Brittany.  

    The Carnac Stones date back between 4500 B.C.E-3300 B.C.E, and are mysteriously lined up in three open field sites. Stretching almost a mile in length, the fields feature equally spaced stones ranging in size from one meter to 13 feet high. Although studies and analysis has been performed on the neolithic structures, there is no definitive answer to their purpose or creation."

    "Colorado artist Mike Grab balances breathakingly high and precarious stacks of stones, creating mesmerizing natural sculptures he calls “Gravity Glue.”  

    Gravity Glue is a name derived from the nature of balance crossed with the common suspicion many have for the mechanics of the expressive form. More importantly, Gravity Glue is an ongoing satellite project that highlights the artistic, spiritual, and visionary elements of balancing rocks, as experienced by creator Michael Grab. All stone installations seen here employ ONLY balance to remain free standing."
