Like anyone who works with stone, whether you're primitive or not, you see an artifact like that or one of those statues or a column out of stone. You're like, holy shit, how did they do that? So it's from the gods, right? I'm going to imitate it and I'm going to try and replicate it. And so they were doing their best to replicate and imitate. But with sandstone.
