Fotoz,

How totally and profoundly puzzling.

In your 4th picture, you can definitely see the tool marks, so you know it's man made.

Did a cataclysm come along and topple these in opposite directions? Were they deliberately stacked that way?

A person could sit and spend all day contemplating what went on here.

What was so important that you would spend all that labor lifting and moving all that heavy stone?

What a joy. Thanks for sharing these.

I would say they were placed that way. Too orderly to be an incident of weather, earthquake, etc. Where were the photos taken? Might give a hint. I lived in Kentucky for eight years. Most of the stone fences were set by slaves. Interesting that the great-grandson of a former slave had a full time business of repairing and resetting stone fences.

I found out that the large slabs of stone, stacked on end, were used to control storm water and sedimentation.
