Excerpt

When we look at the architectural beauty of a building or monument erected with natural building stones, we normally never think of all the effort that was needed for the extraction of the building stones from the quarry, the transportation to a workshop for cutting, and the polishing or carving by expert hands. The result of all these processes is a monumental task that represents the idiosyncrasies and identity of different peoples and cultures. These structures bear witness to all their efforts. …
