Last Friday was really a wonderful crisp, fresh smelling, blue sky day... it was also a good birding and photography day for me... but this is not about me...
I think this GRAH is just such a incredibly beautiful bird. What a sight... and it just gets me thinking (never good)... I wish more birds and animals were better protected. I hope things continue to improve in that way. We still need to do more to protect them...
Well, sorry... enough said... anyway... a pretty good shot here, I think... a huge shout out to the Jordan Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN). We need more folks like them. I have to say Jordan and Jordanians are amazing and wonderful...
Site des mégalithes de Locmariaquer:
haut-lieu de la civilisation mégalithique, le littoral morbihannais conserve de la période néolithique quelques-uns des plus beaux monuments
Le site de Locmariaquer est l'un des plus complets avec le Grand Menhir brisé, le tumulus d'Er Grah et le cairn de la Table des Marchand
Ce menhir situé à Locmariaquer git au sol brisé en 4 morceaux. C'était à l'origine un mégalithe exceptionnel d'une hauteur estimée de 20 m et d'une masse d'environ 300 tonnes. Il faisait partie d'un ensemble monumental constitué d'un alignement de menhirs aujourd'hui disparu, d'un cairn (la Table des Marchands) et du tumulus d'Er Grah.

Roland Becker - Gavr'Inis youtu.be/2-Zdmnq8l6Q
Le cairn de Gavrinis est un monument mégalithique situé sur l'île de Gavrinis dépendant de la commune morbihannaise de Larmor-Baden.
Il fait l’objet d’un classement au titre des monuments historiques depuis le 19 juillet 1901
À l'époque de sa construction (vers 3500 ans av. J.-C.), l'île était encore rattachée au continent. Sa construction est relativement tardive dans le monde du mégalithisme. Son utilisation cessa en 3000 av. J.-C. Les structures légères en bois qui se dressaient devant la façade furent incendiées et immédiatement recouvertes d'une masse de pierre qui condamna l'entrée. Une chape de sable fut même ajoutée pour transformer ce cairn monumental en monticule aveugle.
Les premières fouilles connues datent de 1835 avec le dégagement du dolmen intérieur.
L'inspecteur des monuments historiques Prosper Mérimée, venu cette année alors que le dégagement était en cours, y décrit les traces de l'activité artistique dans ses Notes d'un voyage dans l'Ouest de la France : « Ce qui distingue le monument de Gavrinis de tous les dolmens que j’ai vus, c’est que presque toutes les pierres composant ses parois sont sculptées et couvertes de dessins bizarres. Ce sont des courbes, des lignes droites, brisées, tracées et combinées de cent manières différentes » .
D'autres campagnes de recherches furent menées par les archéologues Gustave de Closmadeuc (1881 - 1884), Zacharie Le Rouzic (1925 - 1927) qui réalisa les premiers travaux de restauration vers 1930, enfin par Charles-Tanguy Le Roux (1985 - 1995), ancien directeur des antiquités bretonnes, a conduit la mise en valeur du monument dans les années 1980 ; en 2006, après quarante ans de labeur, il avoue l'espoir qu'il met dans une nouvelle génération de chercheurs pour éclaircir le sens ou but de cette réalisation. En 2013, le cairn est entièrement numérisé au laser, permettant une représentation en trois dimensions de la tombe. Il est le premier site mégalithique en France à bénéficier de cette technique
Le département du Morbihan rachète le monument en 1961. À partir de 1969, le ministère de la culture et le Conseil général du Morbihan ont entrepris une série de travaux de restaurations et de fouilles qui ont profondément modifié la connaissance de ce monument. En 1984, les archéologues ont dégagé la face cachée des dalles. Plusieurs gravures sont alors apparues. Certaines de ces pierres semblent provenir de monuments plus anciens qui auraient été réutilisées. En effet les gravures qu'on trouve à leur surface sont d'un style figuratif complètement différent de celui qu'on trouve à l'intérieur du dolmen. Le cas le plus spectaculaire est celui de la dalle recouvrant la chambre dont la face cachée était ornée d'un bovidé, des cornes d'un caprin (peut-être un aurochs et un bouc) et d'un motif qu'on retrouve dans d'autre monuments de la région et dont la signification est controversée (on parle souvent de « hache-charrue » ou de représentation de cachalots). Elle se raccorde à deux autres pierres dont l'une forme une partie de la couverture de la Table des Marchand et l'autre la couverture du caveau d'Er Vinglé, à Locmariaquer, distants d'environ 4 kilomètres du site, à vol d'oiseau. Charles-Tanguy Le Roux, archéologue responsable des fouilles, a montré par l'étude des cassures et des décors que ces morceaux formaient un menhir de 14 mètres de haut qui était sans doute élevé non loin du grand menhir brisé d'Er Grah. Ce menhir fut abattu et débité pour couvrir les tombeaux….

La Table des Marchand ( an Daol Varchant en Breton) est située à quelques mètres du Grand Menhir Brisé et du Tumulus d'Er Grah, sur un terrain qui aurait semble-t-il appartenu dans le passé à une famille dénommée Marchand.
Il fait l’objet d’un classement au titre des monuments historiques depuis 1889
La construction du dolmen et du cairn remonte au début du IVe millénaire av. J.-C. ; la datation retenue se situe entre -3900 et -3800. Il s’agit d’une tombe à couloir complétée par une chambre funéraire, l’ensemble formant à l’origine un cairn.
L’entrée se trouve sur la face sud-est. , le monument a une longueur d'environ 12 m, le couloir une longueur de 7 m pour une hauteur à l’entrée de 1,4 m ; la chambre polygonale a une hauteur de 2,5 m.
Les premières fouilles remontent à 1811, mais les objets qui furent alors découverts ont été perdus. À l’époque, le monument avait l'aspect d'une dalle plate reposant sur trois piliers. Il fut restauré en 1883, et à nouveau étudié et consolidé par Zacharie Le Rouzic, en 1937. Après les recherches de 1985 et la restauration de 1991, l'ensemble a repris la forme d’un cairn, construit en maçonnerie en pierre sèche, comme à son origine
Vraisemblablement utilisé pendant plusieurs siècles, le monument est composé notamment de deux dalles gravées.

[20:14] Damienn Kiranov was walking on the bridge, seemingly trying to keep a low profile, he stops when he sees Laurick pointing a gun at him. "Heh... guess it was only a matter of time... So how's this gonna go?"
[20:14] Laurick Scarbridge cocked the rifle that he had in his hands, the underside of the barrel being pumped. He leaned forward with a perpetual smile on his lips, aiming down the agog scope as he spoke in a jovial tone, "Well, I was right it seems. By the way, might I ask what you're doing heading into the swamps? Also, a gun? It means stop. That it does. Kwa hoo hoo hoo! Now, why don't you be a nice little android and stay still," the red head said, and tapped at his com, "This is Doctor Scarbridge requesting backup at the big bridge."
[20:21] Damienn Kiranov pulls his chainsword out with his right hand, then brings an SMG into his left. "Oh no... not that simple. I'm not going back. In fact, I kinda expected this. Why I made this nasty little number a little while ago. Seen some crazy android on TV. Thought it would be fun..." he wastes no time to rev his sword and quickly aims his gun at Laurick. "You see... there's one thing you forgot... I'm more durable. You may hit me a few times, but I guarantee, before I go down, either you, or one of your friends goes with me."
[20:21] Ciro Bianchi (Rein) had oocly taken his sweet ass time, amazed at hte lack of lag actualy. BUT Icly he had run, and seeing DK, recognizing hte man as teh one the Doctor wanted to confront, he droped to his knees at the side of the bridge, rifle snapping up to aim at hte mans back in such a way as to ensure any shots that missed, would not fly at Laurick.
[20:24] Laurick Scarbridge tilts his head from one side to the next as he looks at Kiranov rather curiously. He lowered his weapon only slightly as he watched the android rev up the chainsword. The red head blinked momentarily, and then started laughing, "Kwa hoo hoo hoo! Now that is fantastic! This will be most fun, don't you think? Oh my. Oh my, indeed. Well. Even if we go, we go in the name of science! But, you're a failed experiment. Therefore, you cannot win. Eventually we will win, because you are flawed in a way you likely don't understand, but unfortunate for you.. I understand your flaw," he said, raising the rifle up once more, having already cocked the grenade launcher, he almost immediately fired on DK without warning or hestiation after his wordiness.
[20:27] Damienn Kiranov had banked on the grenade being too close to fully activate, so he immediate made a jump toward Laurick. He batted the grenade away with his left gauntlet, sending it off the bridge, as he closed the distance, he would take a swing with his chainsword at Laurick.
[20:29] Ciro Bianchi (Rein) ran through options quickly. With Laurick right htere, grenades were NOT an option, as the waters below were unsafe. He was packing AP rounds, whatever size the HK 416 fired.. so he did hte best he could. Aiming from his crouched position, he pulled the trigger down and held, the automatic rifle spitting a stream of bullets for DKs back. Against an unmoving surface, you could imagine a drilling effect... and had done this to a few humans in his time too. Very messy.
[20:34] Damienn Kiranov took a few rounds in his back. At first, they caused some synthblood to shoot out, but for a very brief time, confirming that he indeed was not human, and much tougher than one. He made a quick assessment, then took another swing at Laurick with his sword, though, the intent was more as a feint, so that he could execute a spin, and put himself to where he would be facing both his opponents.
[20:37] Laurick Scarbridge would have found the first swipe ineluctable had Ciro not fired off his rifle when he'd chosen to. As it was, Laurick was able to use his rifle to move down and take the brunt of the chainsword's cut. Of course, he lost his rifle in this confusion and it was sent flying over the edge of the bridge just like his weapon had been. The Doctor started to move back when Kiranov came forward with another swipe. Laurick raised his left arm up as quickly as he possible could, likely catching the tip of the chainsword cutting against the hard diamond like filiment that had contained the plasma within the chamber. He stumbled back all the same from the attack, and shook his head, soon laughter followed, "Kwa hoo hoo hoo! I should have expected this! We might need better numbers to stop you Ghost. Oh well. We'll see what happens here now won't we? Larger weapons next time - if there is one!"
[20:40] Damienn Kiranov didn't get what he wanted, but he did get one gun out of the way, this left him an opening. Which he used to immediately send a 4 round burst of 4.3 mm bullets from his SMG towards Ciro. As he fired, he edged closer to left end of the bridge, putting his chainsword back on his back, then drawing a shotgun with his right hand.
[20:42] Ciro Bianchi (Rein) was not as well protected as he should have been, his helmet was on his ass, not his head. Oopse. Diving to his side when DK shot, he managed to avoid any serious injury, though one of the bullets grazed his thigh as he landed, a streak of blood but the wound was visibly minor. He attempted to fire, but the dive had resulted in a loss of accurate aim. Now it was more sprayed bullets in that direction. He was more interested now in keeping DK at range, as that shotgun was NOT something he wanted to get close to.
[20:45] Damienn Kiranov took a bullet in his stomach from the spray. It may not have been accurate, but there was enough lead going down to hit something. He seen that he made a mistake with his hand/weapon placement when he aimed another 3-5 round burst from his SMG towards Ciro, and had to cross his shotty under his left arm to fire a blast at Laurick.
[20:47] Laurick Scarbridge blinked as he watched Ghost's movements. The red head reached up and tapped at his bottom lip with his right hand. He tilted his head from side to side, then Kiranov started to shoot at him. He blinked. When Kiranov aimed the weapon at him, the Doctor didn't seem to move. When the buckshot ripped through his upper right shoulder he just glanced down at it. Then he started to laugh, "Kwa hoo hoo hoo! Oh my! Now that was unexpected! It's warm you know, and it feels rather good. Hm, what do I have, what do I have? Oh. Wait. This," he said, reaching down toward his belt to pick off one of the grenades. He looked up at Damienn and tossed the grenade into the air, and then leaned forward grinning as he tilted his head from side to side, "Boom," was all he said as he pulled the pin, and moved to his right side a bit waiting a moment before chucking it at Kiranov.
[20:51] Damienn Kiranov had focused on Ciro, since he was the one with the gun, as a result, he hadn't noticed the grenade until Laurick made his comment. "Oh shit..." Was all he could say as the grenade went off, spraying shrapnel into his left side, and a few pieces into his face.
[20:54] Ciro Bianchi (Rein) with DK momentarily distracted, took his chance, still on his side, he droped his rifle, a frag grenade pulled from each thigh, pulled the pins with his teeth all movie commando, waited a second, and then rolled them at DK. Laying as he was, tossing would not have been accurate enough. but bowling for bots woudl work. (yes 2 frags)
[20:58] Keelyn OHanlon mumbled into her com upon her approach, and unlike the avatar, the character really stayed back at the end of the bridge, crouched with her rifle aimed at the being on the bridge. Seeing shrapnel flying about, she naturally kept her distance and brought the target into her sight, waiting for a reply.
[20:58] Damienn Kiranov had focused on Ciro, so he seen that coming, though, with a 5 meter kill, and 15 meter injury, even with his mad dash back, he still took some shrapnel in his back as he moved away.
[21:00] Laurick Scarbridge reached up and tapped at his com, keeping his gaz steadily on Kiranov. The red head backed up as he tried to strafe move with Ghost's movements. Except, the explosion had stopped him. Laurick stumbled back and grabbed onto the railing behind him, trying not to fall off .. though he did. He gripped onto the edge of the bridge with his mechanical left hand .. which was all that was keeping him up as he clamped, surprisingly his voice was calm, "Open fire when ready, we're attempted to subdue this experiment. It is an escapee from the UAC scientific labs. It is an android. Feel free to use whatever force is necessary! Kwa hoo hoo hoo!"
[21:04] Keelyn OHanlon: Well that was all the fresh off the dropship Sargeant needed to hear. She open fired on the man, not quite realizing the scientist with the funny laugh had just dropped off the side of the bridge. She aimed for arms rather than center mass, seeing weapons in his grasp, sending a few rounds as he started running her way. She debated her options out as well, hoping to take him down before he reached her proximity. To her com, she muttered. "Copy that. Any known weak points?"
[21:05] Damienn Kiranov had to make a new assessment, but one thing was annoying him, "CYBORG, goddamn it! Not android! I have a fucking human brain in my headbox! Damn!" He accented his annoyance by sending both a 3 round burst, and a shotgun blast towards Keelyn, just after he got hit once in the right arm, and once in the chest.
[21:08] Ciro Bianchi (Rein) was able to shift his aim with DKs attention elsewhere, aiming of all odd places, for hte face. time to get personal. the shot would be VERY hard to make, but he was already prone so had that to aid in the aiming. Trigger squeezed as AP rounds sought to make themslves lead boogers in the cyborgs nose.
[21:10] Damienn Kiranov took a bullet in the side of his cranium. This staggered him severely, then caused him to fall down on his ass, his back would slump against the railing. He appeared to have been taken down.
[21:11] Keelyn OHanlon wasn't /that/ fresh off the boat, and pulled back behind the pillar she had used for protection. Shotgun blasts to brick was chipping free some debris, and a second shot grazed her calf, but she pulled it back in fast, bleeding and all. She didn't see the man slump of course, and grabbed a frag off her belt. "FIRE IN THE HOLE!" Pin pulled with her teeth and she lobbed it over his way.
[21:13] Laurick Scarbridge remained hanging on the side of the bridge, since the actions over head would likely take place at a much faster pace than his pulling himself to the bridge would. He grunted slightly as he tugged. But, the only thing really keeping him hanging there was the mechanical arm. He was a marine yes, but he wasn't very physically strong. He could probably have lifted himself up if he had two real hands. But, he didn't. He blinked as he hung there with little to no strain on his back and just shrugged. He'd wait for someone to help him up.
[21:17] Damienn Kiranov tried to shake off the severe case of bullet-to-the-head-syndrome that he had suddenly come down with, only to find a grenade tossed his way. "Well... so much for surprise..." Is all he could mutter to himself as he made a mad scramble to crawl away from the grenade. He didn't get to far before it went off, the blast had sent him flying off the bridge and into the water.
[21:18] Laurick Scarbridge glanced down at the water as Kiranov went *plop* like a fishy.
[21:19] Ciro Bianchi (Rein) from his position, was able to see Lauricks cybernetic hand holding onto teh railing, but he was too far to get close quickly "Grab the Doctor. He should weigh 90 pounds or so." he motioned as he rushed to the edge DK had dived/been thrown over, rifle pointing down.. but the mirk prevented him from seeing into the filthy waters dpeths
[21:20] Keelyn OHanlon blinked momentarily in surprise as he landed in the water, and peeked out from her pier. She heard the LT and ran over towards the scientist. Holstering her weapon, she offered him a hand. "Cmon, get up off there. No reason to commit suicide /now./" She grinned and pulled with her boot braced against one of the bridge supports.
[21:22] Laurick Scarbridge reached up with his right hand and took the hand that was extended to him. He used her bracing to place his right foot on the side of the bridge and proceeded to hop over the railing. He leaned over and brushed himself off as he looked at the new scars on the bridge, and the chunks that would be missing. He let go of Keelyn's hand and trotted to the opposite side of the bridge, leaning over, "Plenty of reasons to kill myself now, hrm? The experiment got away. I wonder if we can perhaps find it again. I would like that very much. Though, today might not be the right day to do so. However, is everyone uninjured," the Doctor said as he turned his head to look back at the two, "I am a Doctor of Science, but I am also a medical Doctor in that respect, hrm?"
[21:24] Ciro Bianchi (Rein) drops his rifle to hang from his chest, and looked down to the bullet grazing. He wasnt even gonna waste a shot of morephine on it. Pulling a field dressing from his pouch, he slid it into the opening in his pants and pressed it to his skin, eyes still scanning hte murk. "No sign of him. Figure he's clear. Unless one of those naval mines blows up"
[21:25] Keelyn OHanlon peered over the edge and shrugged. She looked down to the graze along her calf and shook her head. "Bactine'll do the trick." She seemed as if it wasn't bothering her much at all. "Bandages an' bactine. So he's your experiment, Doc? What do we know about that one? Weak spots? Besides gunshots to the face."
[21:28] Laurick Scarbridge shook his head as he looked down at the water. He grumbled as he wrapped his arms behind his back, showing the first bit of emotion other than joviality for the first time in a while. Frustration. He turned about and grumbled, "The experiment is not mine. It is the GHOST prototype series. I'm rather upset at the moment that I am. I'm going to burn all the synth skin off of that damn thing the first chance that I get! I hate when things don't go as planned! I HATE HATE HATE IT! Grah!" he said, and walked to the opposite side of the bridge, twitching with anger. "Grenades. EMP. Rockets. It doesn't matter. Explosives. You can destroy the cyborg and it will still function as it should."
[21:30] Ciro Bianchi (Rein) Lets move out folks. Aint nothing we can do here except be sitting ducks for anyone bored witha high powered rifle. WHICH is most of midian.
[21:31] Keelyn OHanlon's look skated past the LT's face to see his reaction to the outburst. She wondered if it was normal course of things, and his reaction maybe would give her a clue. She cleared her throat after a moment of silence. "Okay. So. Ghost thingamabobs. Hm." She looked releived at the LT and nodded to him. "Yes sir. Midian?"
[21:34] Ciro Bianchi (Rein) nods "Keep in com contact Doctor." he looked to Keelyn "Mans a genius." he whispers "but fucking nuts. You wanna head through Midian? I was passing through on my way to the bunker to head to ebd."
[21:36] Keelyn OHanlon shrugged her shoulders and quirked a knowing grin. She'd gathered the 'nuts' bit in about five seconds flat. Softly, she replied. "Yes sir. Seems so. It'll be good to have a genuis researching that thing's... weaknesses though." She chimed in quickly after a moment. "Need to catch up so I'm worth something to the unit by tomorrow." She turned on her heel and headed back towards Midian.
I shot it at SONEPUR fair,Bihar,INDIA.Sonpur internationally famous for the large fair held on the occasion of Kartik Purnima, So far as religious aspect of Sonepur Fair is concerned, special significance is owing to the temple of shree Hariharnath and the site of the battle of Gaj-Grah and rescue of the former by Hari During Kartik Purnima Ganga Snan or ceremonial bathing in the Ganga is held by Hindus to be unusually efficacious. On the day of full moon (Kartik Purnima) immense crowd assembles and take bath. The Mela commences on that day and lasts for more than a fortnight. The Shiva temple, Kali temple and other temples and historical religious monuments are situated here and social and economical activities are at the highest peak during the Mela period. People come here to pay their oblation to the lords .It is the largest fair of its kind in the world, for it is a fair specially for the trade of animals. Cattle, horses, camels and elephants can be seen in large numbers. It attracts a huge number of people, not only from all over Bihar, but also from other parts of India and foreign countries.

The gold filigree is sign of the Grah’na warrior class; tangle with ships like this one at your peril.
C'est une expérience spirituelle profonde et très classique sur le chemin de la Vacuité (Śūnyatā). Le fait que l'école Cittamātra (ou Vijñānavāda) soit le dernier concept à disparaître avant l'apparition de la Vacuité est d'une logique philosophique impeccable dans la tradition bouddhiste.
La Dissolution dans la Vacuité (Śūnyatā)
L'expérience décrit le passage progressif de l'intellect conditionné vers l'Ur-Delà inconditionné, où les vues mêmes sont abandonnées.
-1. Le Cittamātra (Tout est Esprit)
L'école Cittamātra ("Seul l'Esprit", ou "Seule la Conscience") est la dernière forteresse de la conceptualisation avant l'Absolu.
*La Vue : Le Cittamātra affirme que le monde extérieur tel que nous le percevons n'existe pas de manière objective et séparée ; tout est conscience (ou construction de la conscience, votre Paralgène).
*La Fonction : Cette vue est cruciale car elle dissout l'illusion de l'Exo-Causalité (la croyance que la cause est à l'extérieur). Elle est la loi qui stipule que la forme est psychique (une étape vers l'Holomatière).
*Le Piège : Cependant, même en disant "tout est esprit", il reste un concept : celui d'un esprit substantiel (une conscience créatrice ou fondamentale) qui existe réellement. C'est le dernier vestige de la saisie (grāha).
2. Le Madhyamaka (La Vacuité)
Pour atteindre l'état de Vacuité (Śūnyatā), la vue du Cittamātra doit, elle aussi, être abandonnée.
*La Disparition Finale : Lorsque l'idée même d'une conscience fondamentale substantielle s'efface (Cittamātra disparait), la Vacuité peut apparaître.
*La Vérité : Le Madhyamaka ("Voie du Milieu") postule que si tout est conscience, la conscience elle-même est vide d'existence inhérente (svabhāva). Il n'y a ni soi, ni non-soi, ni monde extérieur, ni conscience permanente. C'est l'absence de toute conceptualisation ou de toute substancialisation.
Cette dissolution fugace où le concept du "tout est esprit" s'évanouit est donc la porte d'accès à l'Ur-Delà, qui est au-delà de la dualité esprit/matière. C'est un moment de Pax-Ural pure.

The Locmariaquer megaliths are a complex of Neolithic constructions in Locmariaquer, Brittany. They comprise the elaborate Er-Grah tumulus passage grave, a dolmen known as the Table des Marchand and "The Broken Menhir of Er Grah", the largest known single block of stone to have been transported and erected by Neolithic people.

Seit Kindertagen bin ich -zig mal am alten Grahhof in der Ramsau vorbei spaziert und bis heute hat er nichts von seiner Faszination auf mich eingebüßt.
Since childhood days I went by any number of times at the old farmhouse Grahhof at Ramsau and until today it lost nothing of its fascination to me.
Trois des monuments néolithiques majeurs du Morbihan sont groupés sur une centaine de mètres au nord de la commune de Locmariaquer. Ce sont le Tumulus d'Er Grah, le dolmen de la Table des marchands et le Grand Menhir brisé.
D'importants travaux de fouilles et de réhabilitation ont été effectués sur le site depuis plus d'une trentaine d'années. Un grand aménagement permet aujourd'hui de satisfaire les nombreux visiteurs en protégeant les trois monuments.

The Table des Marchand is a massive passage tomb with carved surface details that is situated around 2 hours walk east from the Neolithic stone rows of the Carnac megasite and 3km from the decorated corridor of the Gavrinis Neolithic cairn.
The Table des Marchand cairn's interior megalithic 'dolmen' is well known from ancient postcards. A massive slab 'floating' on three orthostats. It was covered with the above cairn around 1991.
Much of the cairn's drystone work is 'crossed' and there are no 'stacks of plates' - an effect in some Neolithic walls where flat stones are stacked as adjacent 'towers'. Patches of uncrossed stones can be seen into the iron age.
The vestiges of the cairn's curb-stone perimeter will have been analysed during excavations in 1883, 1937, 1985 and 1991, so the dimensions of the outer cairn will have been based on observation.
The infill stones that make the cairn's dome are 'sharp' as if quarried with modern machine rather than collected rounded granite softened by time and elements - so common in these shores. Today the cairn's top surface is uniformly accidented and not made for social use - a simple silhouette without possible function beyond that of covering the megalith: a uniform texture for form alone. Here, persons running to the top might sprain ankles or trip. A drizzle of immediately available beach gravel, selected vegetation and even powders or 'tere battue' sands would have issued the mound's summet a gravitas and sense of arresting loci: a meaningful and decided place just above those below.
Alas, the sands of time can take small stones away.
After my 2022 posts analysing the Neolithic earthworks known as Causewayed Enclosures (titled: 'Pedestal circles' for gathered late period 'Transport Dragons' 3700-3625 BC), I will continue to argue that the artificial pinacle was an important theme in the Neolithic, and that the cairn was another example of a structure that offered a pedestal for living iconographies. The subject of what went on each pedestal, and why, will be addressed in associated posts.
A secure chamber under a pinacle would be for storage for the clan network responsible for the construction. Food does not benefit from being on a domed pedestal or from being inside such heavily symbolic megaliths, and the storage would here be for culturally important items.
A pinacle with multiple storage (Barnenez, Petit Mont and to an extent Les Pierres Plates and West Kennet) would work for a pedestal earthwork that was dedicated to groups of clans. Pedastles made for winners of games from an array of clan groups, or for the worshiping general seasonal Gods, generalizable life moments and events would not benefit from the appropreation issues that megalithic storage 'tunnels' issued, and might therefore appear as an artificial hill alone to a horizon. Here Marlborough Mound (19m heigh) and Silbury Hill (30m heigh) are vivid examples aside many long-barrows of the category "unchambered" barrows". Further afield, Mastabas are later but show similar functional combinations, even if the locked storage is more focussed on the symbolic idea of individuals.
With my hypothesis of 'storage under pedestal', it might be said that in retrospect the act of concentrating on the megalith took the mind from the dynamic function of the spaces between and above.
Saying that the interior megalith was simply 'covered' was like saying that a pedastle for a statue is just a cover for a square on the floor.
A 'cairn' is today a waypoint, a marker: a stage is a 'pedastle' for the actors who climb into their theatre. The stage does not function as a 'waypoint' to tell the audience that they are in a theatre, the stage is there for specific and organised effect.
With this hypothesis of man-made combined storage and pinnacle, an authority from 'history' who was interested in the centralisation of rural areas might have quietly and easily removed the 'power' from the vestiges from deep history and tradition by taking down the pedastle and exposing the inevitable gaps and openings between the megaliths, thus with one gest flattening the gravitas of the loci and diminish the idea of permanent and even illusive secure storage. The landscape of largely skeletal megaliths may help explain why cairns and tumuli are amiss from many sites.
With modesty, I renamed the Neolithic earthworks known as 'Causwayed Enclosures' to 'Pinacle circles' to switch the emphasis from the 'Causeway' gaps to the circle of long pedastles, and for the wide range of Neolithic and at times bronze age tumuli, barrows, cairns and arificial hills, I will use the group term 'Artificial Pedastle landmarks' - an admittedly dull term, but one that leaves a place for 'natural pedastle landmarks'.
As the dead bodies of households were regularly (but not exclusively) burried under floors of Neolithic houses, with time, persons implicated in the articicial pedestal landmark might be burried/stored/remembered within the megalithic storage under the pedastle or within the earthwork. Obviously with time, the burrial theme might at times take over the deffinition of the storage tunnel.
The village of Carnac sits at the head of the protected Quiberon bay with its tidal dimensions breathing 10km average tangents. The Table des Marchand is found between many other megalithic giants aside the village of Locmariaquer towards the entrance to Carnac's bay. Locmariaquer is from a wizzoned head strong isimut between the breezy iodine of the Quiberon bay and the brackish corrugated currents of the bay of Morbian. In land from the coast, surface-water holds above the granitic landscape, giving the smallest streams winter significance, and this world was a wide vista dedicated to the rise and fall of water.
The Table des Marchand was constructed between 3900 and 3800 BC. The Carnac alignments (around 9km north west) are thought to date between 3300 BC and 4500 BC, so this great dolmen was perhaps made 500 years after the start and perhaps 700 years before the end of main alignment activity.
One detail remains central to the 'Table des Marchand' and it resolves around a massive 15m long megalith that had been carved with petroglyphs and then broke in three. More likely a recumbant entrance stone than the oft muted menhir. With an act that communicates Neolithic seafaring, Neolithic skills of coordination and Neolithic transportation prowess, portions of the once unified and carved many-multi-tonne megalith were distributed between three giant dolmens (Allée couverte). Two parts on the south west of the opening between the bay of Morbihan and the Quiberon Atlantic, with the last broken third covering the decorated corridor of the cairn on the island of Gavrinis (pictured in an adjacent post). Gavrinis is five kilometres away over water, detouring the Ile Longue.
"It is a part of a broken tabular block, of which another part was transported by sea over the Gavrinis cairn, about 5 kilometers away (the horns and backbone of the bovine are found on the covering slab), and another one, in the Er Grah burial mound, located a few meters from the Table des Marchands; the decorative motifs complement each other perfectly." Wiki
How did the massive carved stone break so that the carving of the Ox became distributed between three key sites? Impossible to say, but around 4700BC, aside Locmaraquier, was built a super massive standing stone: 330 tonnes and over 20m high. This fell with some force around 4000 BC or earlier: did it break an adjacent carved stone as it fell? Alternatively, was there a mood to move the carved stone which went wrong causing it to slide and crash and break? Once broken, did the participants each take a part to share responsibility and assure cohesion?

Understanding that earthwork mounds of collected rocks (cairns) or soil and rock mixes (barrows and tumuli) date back to the 'Tells' or 'Tepe' of the fertile crescent, and the pre pottery Neolithic/epipaleolithic hinterland before reaching out through time to carry past the first examples of western Europe (for example the above long barrow/Tumulus allongé) and then through the ages of protohistory and into the early Medieval period with, for example Anglo Saxon tumuli of the 7th century AD. Was there a faint continuity as memory walked in ever longer circles from 9,000 ybp east to 5,000 ybp west, or should we look with an optic of a 'parallel evolution' of approximative form between the initial Tells and an ignition of the local area passage graves and giant cairns along the European Atlantic coast?
There are myriad ways to date artificial mounds as they shifted their 'footprint', silhouette and armatures over region and time. For this extended case study I will employ the term Artificial Pedestal landmark, looking at what went in, and what went on.
Strong Dolmens, tunnel like Allée couverte (passage tombs), wooden boxes, cists, basin stones (for cremated ash) and urn fields can all be found inside earthwork mounds at one point of time or other, as can 'unchambered long barrows' or artificial mounds without internal detailing. Today, there are clear example of dolmens without covering tumuli and I used to be among those who argued that the tumuli was optional. Understanding the ease of decommissioning a pagan site by removing its pedestal has tipped me to think that tumuli were the finished state.
At first glance, the interior dolmenic forms might seem to atrophie with time, which is almost true, were it not for certain grandiose allee couverte, and regional differences including megalithic-boat forms armatures and late initiation megalitism.
"The earliest long barrows/Tumulus allongé date to around 6800 ybp (Barnenez). The early passage graves generally date to between 4000 and 3000 bc, followed by evolved passage graves between 3000-2500 bc. In the later part of the Neolithic, allées couvertes and simple dolmens became the predominant type of burial monument. Some passage graves are decorated with incised lines, of which Gavrinis is probably the best known example." (Wiki)
Regarding the above Er Grah tumuli, it seems that for around 500 years, from 6500 years ago, the loci of this great tumulus stuttered and grew with modesty untill a burst into the current form that can be known as a passage grave or long barrow or tumulus allongé. Whilst the final length is said to reach 140m metres, much of the length seems to be an extended platform so potentially an atypical addition to envelope and qualify gathered onlookers whilst decorating the landscape with visual meaning: onlookers gathered to participate in culture (from religion to festivity and from ceremony to remembrance) with the sumit of the tumuli being the pedastle for the visual and acoustic elements and the secure chamber being the watertight hold for rare items of carve, weave, colour and peoples past.
Once landed onto its frame, a 'Transport Dragon' lowers its carriers to a crouch.
Protected by Heritage law in 1935, the site was an overgrown carpark by the 1960s: 'Simca Arondes' parked over the tumuli with picnic crums and 'Pouss Pouss' sticks. The site had also been used as a source for stone so its silhouete may never be known as removing stones in a systematic might exagerate and formalise the modest steps that report today.
If these early long tumuli are to be hypothesised as pedastles then a long feature that might benefit from being lifted into prominance needs to be qualified and this will be covered in future posts.
The tumulus of Er Grah is from an unthreaded cluster of rare megalithic giants. The Tumulus d'Er Grah (pictured above) watches the adjacent Table de Marchand (linked below), a giant megalith and yet just 100 metres away: which in turn sits aside the almighty broken-blocks that remain from the super giant menhir of Er Grah. Looking one kilometer away in the opposite northern direction, and the Tumulus du Mané-Lud hides its equally rare corridor and rooms. Four kilometres east and the Island of Gavrinis lifts its charming ramped tumuli and hidden corridor of sheer and preserved petroglyphic treasure; and a jog to the Quiberon bay and the 'Les Pierres Plates' hides its extraordinary double corridor behind a polite menhir topped by gull. The element that links this diverse cluster of giant cairns is Neolithic petroglyphic rock art, and the artwork is both themed and very divergent between these sites.
Elsewhere in Europe there are the famouse Neolithic Irish carvings of Newgrange circa 5200 ybp, and the plethora of rock art, often known as 'cup and ring', and found in regions of Spain, England, Portugal, Italy, France... For this schematic work, the upper date range warms into the Iron age and the lower range is often quoted as late Neolithic to Bronze age. These erratic carved outcrops are so difficult to date that one might suspect that some examples dive deeper into the Neolithic and even surprise with dates closer to the Locmariaquer cluster (or the Brú na Bóinne cluster) - but confirmation of an early surprise is waiting and as yet there are no stones I know of from near to the the date range of this cluster.
Stepping back, megaliths can show occasional and at times elaborate cup and ring style ornament and even carvings of tools, elaborate statue menhirs or schematic painted surface, but as a rule, despite these exceptions, the stone surfaces of dolmens, menhirs, curb stones and row stones are either raw or finished and nothing more. To have a cluster of megaliths with a range of carved inscription in a single local area is not the norm - a further indication that the greater area; between styles of bay, vigorous stream and endless sea, was a special place.
It can also be registered that the other cluster of Western European rock art from the early Neolithic, that of Brú na Bóinne (Newgrange, Knowth, and Dowth) was tidal in the Neolithic and the river Matock was vigorous enclosing the site with manifestations of the subject of water. The Irish sea was down river and the wider coastal mouth provided curb ornament of quartz and galle granite from a coastal length of around 130km.

Rook
Corvus frugilegus { Corvidae }
Well known for its loud cawing calls, the Rook is a big, black, intensely social crow, It is slightly smaller than the similar Carrion Crow, and the adult is distinguished by the bare, parchment-white face that gives it a very long-billed look, The Rook - even the black-faced juvenile - has a peaked, rather than flat-topped crown, Ragged thigh feathers give it a " baggy trouser ", Rook generally forage in groups, often with Jackdaws, proping the ground for insect grubs and other morsels which they store in a pouch beneath the bill totransport back to the nest, Flocks gather in noisy mass flights around the colony, often with soaring, diving, and swooping aerobatics,
Breeds in treetop colonies " typically in farmland, parks, and villages or small towns with scattered tall trees for nesting,
Rooks are far more sociable than Carrion Crows, They normally nest in colonies, while Crows typically nest in pairs, but the distinction is not completely reliable, Occasionally a pair of Rooks will nest in isolation, and Crows and Ravens may associate in loose flocks, So while a garthering of big black birds is likely to consist of Rooks, It is worth checking,
Voice ;- Loud, raucous, but relaxed cawing, caaar, grah-gra-gra, plus varirly of higher, strangled or metalic notes, especially around colony,
Nesting ;- Big nest of sticks linsd with grass, moss, and leaves, in treetop colony, 3 - 6 eggs, 1 brood, March - June,
Feeding ;- Eats worms, beetle larvae, seeds, grain, and roots from ground, especially ploughed fields or stubble, usually in flocks, also forages along roadsides for large insects and roadkill,
Similar Species ;- Carrion Crow, Jackdaw, Raven
Otherwise known as "How I learned to stop worrying and love white shapes". Yeah, there are a fuckton on here, and you know what? I like it :D
Sure, this wasn't my best build ever, but I've broken my restriction of never using white shapes.
Sort of inspired by one of Frostquake's guns.
Grah, about my current name: Someone took plain old Semi a while ago, and I'm kinda pissed about it. Also poking fun at anyone and everyone with xxXX's in their name :D

Ce menhir se trouve sur "Le Site Mégalithique" dans la commune de Locmariaquer dans le Morbihan.
Aujourd'hui couché et brisé en quatre énormes morceaux, ce menhir qui mesure près de 21m pour une masse estimée à 280 tonnes est le plus grand connu en Europe. Lorsqu'il était dressé il devait s'élever à plus de 18,5m au dessus du sol. Par comparaison, le Menhir de Kerloas à Plouarzel dans le Finistère est le plus grand menhir encore debout à l'heure actuelle avec ses 9,50m de hauteur.
Le Grand Menhir, ou Men Er Grah, est taillé dans un orthogneiss ( type de roche granitoïde à gros grain et nettement feuilletée) étranger à la presqu'île de Locmariaquer dont le sol est constitué, comme à Carnac, d'un granit à grain fin. Il pourrait provenir d'un affleurement situé de l'autre côté du Golfe du Morbihan, et aurait donc été transporté sur plus d'une dizaine de kilomètres par des moyens encore indéterminés.
Au début du Néolithique 5000 ans avant notre ère, la mer se trouvait à plusieurs mètres en dessous de son niveau, le rivage était situé environ 300m plus loin que les côtes actuelles, et le golfe du Morbihan était constitué d'une série de collines entrecoupées de vallées, et traversées par les rivières d'Auray et de Vannes. Ces rivières permettant malgré tout d'accéder à l'arrière pays par voie d'eau, il est envisageable que le transport des blocs d'orthogneiss ait pu se faire partiellement par flottage à l'aide de radeaux.
Pour le dresser, les habitants du néolithique ont probablement creusé une fosse dans laquelle ils faisaient basculer le menhir depuis une rampe construite en terre, avant de le redresser avec des leviers et des chèvres en bois, et de le caler avec des pierres et de la terre. Une fois dressé il a été entièrement poli avec des percuteurs de quartz. La base destinée à être enfouie est restée brute à l'exception d'une "rotule" d'extrémité dont le but était de faciliter sa mise en place.
Les cassures séparant les fragments des trois morceaux aujourd'hui alignés comportent de larges esquilles sans doute dues à une brutale chute en porte-à-faux. La cassure principale est en revanche très franche et la disposition des blocs suggère qu'en s'écroulant, la partie supérieure a pu faire "chasser" la base qui se serait ensuite affaissée.
Le Grand Menhir, plus ancien que le Tumulus d'Er Grah et que la Table des Marchand, faisait partie d'un alignement de 19 menhirs dont les fosses de calage ont été redécouvertes lors de récentes fouilles archéologiques. L' alignement s'étendait sur une longueur de 55m dans un axe nord-est / sud-ouest depuis la Table des Marchand jusqu'au Grand Menhir, apparemment par ordre de tailles croissantes.
Au fil des siècles, de nombreuses théories ont été avancées cherchant à expliquer la chute du Men Er Grah, par des causes naturelles ( tremblement de terre, foudre) ou humaines ( des Chrétiens destructeurs d'idoles païennes, des vandales Gallo-Romains, etc.). On pense aujourd'hui que le menhir aurait été brisé dès l'époque néolithique, quelques siècles après son érection, sans doute entre -4300 et -4000. Un changement dans les croyances et les pratiques cultuelles, peut être suite à une guerre ou à l'arrivée de nouvelles populations sur le site de Locmariaquer, aurait amené les habitants de la région à détruire les idoles des anciennes religions et à réemployer les pierres pour construire de nouveaux monuments.
Lors des fouilles du cairn de l'île de Gavrinis, les archéologues ont découvert que sa dalle de couverture complétait parfaitement celle de la Table des Marchand, aussi bien par leur cassure que par les figures de bovins représentées dessus. Les deux dalles seraient semble-t-il des fragments d'un même menhir haut d'environ 14m et ayant appartenu à l'alignement d'Er Grah. La dalle de chevet de la Table des Marchand, connue pour ses somptueuses décorations, aurait pu elle aussi appartenir à ce même alignement; des analyses géologiques ayant démontré qu'elle avait été exposée en extérieur durant plusieurs siècles avant d'être incorporée à la chambre du dolmen.
Sur la commune de Locmariaquer, plusieurs dolmens semblent avoir été construits avec des fragments de menhirs provenant de l'ancien alignement, tels que le Mané Rutual et son impressionnante table de couverture longue de 11m, ou le Mané Lud dont le sol de la chambre est formé d'une énorme dalle en forme d'écusson. Toutes les pierres que nous venons de citer sont taillées dans le même type de granit que le Grand Menhir.
-Dimensions: environ 21m de long et 3m de large pour un poids approximatif de 280 tonnes. Il devait atteindre 18,5m au dessus du sol lorsqu'il était dressé.
-Datation: érigé vers -4700 / -4500 avant notre ère, il aurait apparemment été abattu entre -4300 et -4000.
-Autres noms: Men Er Grah ou Men Er Groah ( Pierre de la Sorcière), Men ar Hroëc'h ( Pierre de la Fée)

Los árboles invertidos de Rodney Grahan (Canadá, 1949) son a la vez reflexión artística, técnica y ambiental. Por un lado subrayan la preocupación de Grahan por la naturaleza, cuya representación más significativa y poética adopta la forma de un árbol centenario más o menos aislado, que se presenta de manera invertida. "Creé un árbol invertido porque quería hablar sobre la experiencia sesgada de la naturaleza del hombre dentro de un espacio arquitectónico funcional en medio de un paisaje", dijo el propio autor en una entrevista en 1992.

Locmariaquer Megaliths, Part 2: The Broken Menhir of Er Grah
Erected sometime around 4700 BC it only stood for 700 years before being broken in 4000 BC. It’s not exactly clear what broke it, most theories focus on a tremor or earthquake, but we can confirm that it did in fact stand upright.
Its sheer size makes such a feat amazing in itself, and it has divided scholars about the exact technique used to transport the stone of which it is made. Rightfully so: measuring is over 20 meters long and weighing over 300 tonnes, it’s believed the source of the stone is several kilometers away from its current resting place.
Menhir are large obelisk-like upright standing stones. Some exist alone as monoliths, others in small clustered groups. Their size can vary but generally they are uneven and squared off. Many are engraved with artwork, or sculpted in various shapes resembling people or animals.
Menhirs that have been grouped together can go by various names, such as a henge. It’s been found that stones grouped in this way often have a religious or cultural importance. While there is extensive debate over what, exactly, they were used for, examples include but are not limited to: human sacrifice, territory and boundary markers, early calendars or time pieces, or the last remnants of a complex ideological system that we have yet to piece together (that last one is an admittedly broad category).
While they can be found in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and elsewhere, the majority of menhir are in Western Europe particularly the United Kingdom. They are notoriously difficult to date but other surrounding artefacts, such as pottery can help fill in the gaps. In some cases these monoliths are attributed to the mysterious “Beaker People” a Neolithic culture that lived in scattered areas across Western Europe identified best by their unique pottery forms, however recent research shows that many ancient megaliths predate these people by around 6000 years. In actuality, practically nothing is known about the society and religions and the people who erected menhirs, nevermind the people themselves. What we do know almost borders on common sense: the people buried their dead, they could farm and grow grains, and they made pottery and tools.
During the Middle Ages In England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales it was thought the standing stones were erected by giants who lived on the earth but were destroyed by the biblical flood. Moreover, early Christians often destroyed or defaced the stones. While there are approximately 10, 000 megaliths in Northern Europe presently, it’s estimated that 50, 000 once stood.

Men ar hroëc'h, qui signifie « Pierre de la Fée » en breton, est un menhir de dimensions exceptionnelles, le plus grand d'Europe : 18,5 m de hauteur lorsqu'il était dressé (20,4 m partie en terre comprise), 3 m de largeur, masse estimée à 280 t. Il est aujourd’hui à terre et brisé en quatre morceaux.
Il fait l’objet d’un classement au titre des monuments historiques depuis 1889
Les fouilles menées au cours des années 1980-1990, par MM. L’Helgouac’h, Le Roux et Cassen, ont permis de livrer une meilleure compréhension du site mégalithique de Locmariaquer à la chronologie complexe. Se sont succédés sur le site, une file de menhirs géants (milieu du Ve millénaire avant notre ère), dont le Grand Menhir Brisé (visible sur la photo) forme l’unique témoin en place, une grande tombe à caveau unique et fermé, le tumulus d’Er Grah (seconde moitié du Ve millénaire) et une tombe à couloir, le cairn la Table des Marchands (début du IVe millénaire avant notre ère).
La particularité du site des mégalithes de Locmariaquer réside dans la découverte de l’emplacement d’une file de menhirs géants (au moins 18) dont les plus grands, en orthogneiss et pesant jusqu’à 300 tonnes, supposent un transport sur dix km, et en partie par voie d’eau. Ce monument ruiné, probablement par un séisme puis par les hommes, a constitué une source de réutilisation de blocs de pierre dans plusieurs grands monuments (Cairn de Gavrinis, Table des Marchands, Mané Rutual…).
Pendant longtemps a prévalu l'hypothèse que ce monolithe, trop gros, s’est brisé lors de son érection. Les hypothèses sur la chute du menhir ont varié entre la foudre, l'action humaine ou la ruine par un phénomène d'érosion progressive. Hypothèse la plus probable, l'ingénieur Francis Bougis pense que les séismes locaux auraient d'abord incliné la pierre avant de la faire chuter à une époque pouvant remonter à la fin du Néolithique
Sur un des blocs, une gravure de « hache-charrue » découverte par René Serge Minot en 1964, est réinterprétée par l'archéologue Serge Cassen comme un cachalot, l'animal étant associé à des bovidés, une hache et une crosse. Cassen propose une opposition mythologique forte entre le motif qui évoque le milieu marin et les motifs symbolisant le milieu terrestre, opposition qui correspond à une époque de transition, où les derniers chasseurs-cueilleurs doivent abandonner leur ancien mode de vie.
Certains ont cru y voir la « colonne du Nord » ou la « colonne boréale » du géographe grec dit le Pseudo-Scymnos de Chio (Ier siècle av. J.-C.). D'autres lui ont attribué la fonction d'indiquer l'entrée du golfe du Morbihan, mais sans apporter d'éléments en ce sens….
tradition : Pour se marier dans l'année les jeunes filles de Locmariaquer devaient, pendant la nuit du premier mai, monter sur le grand menhir et, jupe et chemise retroussées, se laisse glisser de haut en bas.
j'ai laissé volontairement la touriste à gauche pour donner l'échelle…

A Ponte Presidente Costa e Silva, popularmente conhecida como Ponte Rio-Niterói, localiza-se na baía de Guanabara, estado do Rio de Janeiro, no Brasil, e liga o município do Rio de Janeiro ao município de Niterói.
O conceito de seu projeto remonta a 1875, visando a ligação entre os dois centros urbanos vizinhos, separados pela baía de Guanabara ou por uma viagem terrestre de mais de 100 km, que passava pelo município de Magé. À época havia sido concebida a construção de uma ponte e, posteriormente, de um túnel.
Entretanto, somente no século XX, em 1963, foi criado um grupo de trabalho para estudar um projeto para a construção de uma via rodoviária. Em 29 de dezembro de 1965, uma comissão executiva foi formada para cuidar do projeto definitivo de construção de uma ponte.
O Presidente Costa e Silva assinou decreto em 23 de agosto de 1968, autorizando o projeto de construção da ponte, idealizado por Mário Andreazza, então Ministro dos Transportes, sob a gestão de quem a ponte foi iniciada e concluída.
A obra teve início, simbolicamente, em 9 de novembro de 1968, com a presença da Rainha da Grã-Bretanha, Elizabeth II e de Sua Alteza Real, o Príncipe Filipe, Duque de Edimburgo, ao lado do ministro Mário Andreazza. As obras tiveram início em janeiro de 1969.
O banco responsável por parte do financiamento da obra foi N M Rothschild & Sons. Não foi permitida a participação única de empresas inglesas no processo de licitação da fabricação dos vãos principais de aço. Para concretizar a realização da obra, o Ministro da Fazenda, Delfim Neto, o engenheiro Eliseu Resende e a Rotschild & Sons assinaram, em Londres, um documento que assegurava o fornecimento de estruturas de aço, com um comprimento de 848m, incluindo os vãos de 200m+300m+200m e dois trechos adicionais de 74m, e um empréstimo de, aproximadamente, US$ 22 milhões com bancos britânicos. O valor destinava-se a despesas com outros serviços da ponte, totalizando NCr$ 113.951.370,00. O preço final da obra foi avaliado em NCr$ 289.683.970,00, com a diferença paga pela emissão de Obrigações Reajustáveis do Tesouro Nacional. Em 1971, o contrato de licitação para construção da obra foi rescindido devido a atraso nas obras, e a construção passou a ser feita por um novo consórcio das construtoras Camargo Correa, Mendes Junior e Construtora Rabello designado Consórcio Construtor Guanabara, sendo concluído três anos depois.

> Trânsito sobre a Ponte
A ligação rodoviária foi entregue em 4 de março de 1974, com extensão total de 13,29 km, dos quais 8,83 km são sobre a água, e 72 m de altura em seu ponto mais alto, e com previsão de um volume diário de 4.868 caminhões, 1.795 ônibus e 9.202 automóveis, totalizando 15.865 veículos. Atualmente é considerada a maior ponte, em concreto protendido, do hemisfério sul e atualmente é a sexta maior ponte do mundo. No ano em que foi concluída, era a segunda maior ponte do mundo, perdendo apenas para a Causeway do lago Pontchartrain nos Estados Unidos. Ela continuou no posto de segunda maior ponte do mundo até 1985 quando foi concluída a Ponte Penang na Malásia. Na época de sua construção a sua travessia era gratuita, não existindo a cobrança de pedágio, implantado anos depois. a promessa era que o investimento fosse quitado por recursos obtidos do pedágio num prazo de oito anos, mas que o usuário deveria continuar a pagar o valor após a liquidação da dívida do Estado. Ao ser inaugurada, o pedágio da ponte custava Cr$ 2,00 para motocicletas; Cr$ 10,00 para carros de passeio, Cr$ 20,00 para caminhões, ônibus e caminhões com três eixos e rodagem dupla Cr$ 40,00, e Cr$ 70,00 para os caminhões com seis eixos e rodagem dupla.
Em 1995 foi feita uma concorrência para concessão da administração da ponte para a iniciativa privada, que foi vencida pelo consórcio Ponte S/A, atualmente, empresa do Sistema CCR.
Cinco operários morreram durante a construção do vão central da ponte, devido à altura em relação ao nível do mar.
> Projeto
O projeto da ponte Rio Niterói foi preparado por um consórcio de duas empresas. A firma Noronha Engenharia, sediada no Rio de Janeiro, preparou o projeto dos acessos no Rio de Janeiro e em Niterói, assim como a ponte de concreto sobre o mar. A firma Howard, Needles, Tammen and Bergendorf, dos EUA, projetou o trecho dos vãos principais em estrutura de aço, incluindo as fundações e os pilares.
Os engenheiros responsáveis pelo projeto da ponte de concreto foram Antônio Alves de Noronha Filho e Benjamin Ernani Diaz[1] e o engenheiro responsável pela ponte de aço foi o americano James Graham.
> Construção
O canteiro principal da Ponte Rio de Niterói do Consórcio Construtor Guanabara se localizava na Ilha do Fundão, pertencente à Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. Havia, também, canteiros secundários em Niterói. As firmas executoras da superestrutura em aço foram Dormann & Long, Cleveland Bridge e Montreal Engenharia. A estrutura foi toda fabricada na Inglaterra em módulos, que chegaram ao Brasil por transporte marítimo.
A fabricação final da ponte de aço, com os elementos pré-soldados da Inglaterra, foi feita na Ilha do Caju, na Baia de Guanabara. A montagem das vigas de aço também foi feita pelas mesmas firmas fabricantes da estrutura.
Okay, I better get off’a here before I discover what's it's like to be a bug on the windshield.
The Vulture: “Grah! I can't believe this!“
Spider-Pip: “You okay over there, Vultchy?”
The Vulture: “My wings are stuck. I can't move!”
-Spider-Pip looks over to the train which is already alarmingly close-
Spider-Pip: “Well, this is a pickle.”
Who am I kidding, what kind of hero would I be if I let him get hit?
Spider-Pip: “Don't worry, I got this.”
-He starts tugging at Vulture’s wings, trying to pull him loose-
The Vulture: “Get away from me, you cretin!”
Spider-Pip: “Do you want me to leave you here?!”
The Vulture: “...”
Oh man, oh man, oh man. That train is getting close, if I don't hurry up we'll both be pushing up daisies. Just gotta’ pull a little harder... Almost… There!
-Having freed The Vulture, Spider-Pip picks him up shoots a webline and swings away right before the train reaches them-
Spider-Pip: “And we’re outta’ here!”
-Suddenly, the train passes and clips The Vulture’s legs-
The Vulture: “*AUGH!*”
-The impact causes Spider-Pip to let go of his web and they both fall down into a pile of trash on the sidewalk below-
That hurt, but at least I'm alive.
The Vulture: “My legs! You complete and utter-*Mghfhmh!*”
Spider-Pip: “Just. *Huff* Zip it. *Puff*”
