How in the world did I start using the word lithostat to name the upright stones in Stonehenge? I think it was because "lith" is in many of these ancient terms I've been dealing with. Trilithon, neolithic and megalithic.
I should have been using the word ORTHOSTAT. An orthostat is a large stone set upright. I think lithostat has something to do with drugs, which I can't use as an excuse for this blunder. I shall edit the other blogs for consistency.

Yeah, I seem to be incapable of getting anything correct without trial and error. I've always been like this but it seems to be getting worse with age.
After careful measuring, using the 1x2x4 block as a ruler, I determined a circle size in REACH that is equivalent to Stonehenge's diameter of 108 feet. I believe I got it aced but I thought it was the inside diameter. Therefore I placed the blocks on the outside. After completing one half of the circle of 30 stones (orthostats) I counted 17. Ultimately a full circle would have 4 more than required. What is going on?

There are, sorry, would have been, 30 upright sarsen stones (orthostats) in the outer ring of Stonehenge. I know that. I breathe that. Apparently, I can't count that!
