my fave is still the cat lady one
this looks like half of a monad, implying the other half is burried under the ground.
oddly enough, i live next to a place that carves 'monuments' as they are called these days.
i've never had a chance to go inside and watch them work.
1795 seems like a long time ago, and it is for one living self aware person.
anything longer then a single human lifetime, or at most two or three generations is,
but people have been living in the western hemisphere for 11 thousand years,
and teaching each other religions of one kind or another for 26 thousand
how long there were people we would recognize as human before that i'm not sure,
but the art came first, made us human some say, and i'm inclined to believe them.
and of course carving, there's not much that lasts longer then that.
i would imagine a lot of 7 year olds died in 1795, working in mines, before unions and child labour laws,
and not many of them have fine carved stones to mark the place. nor had parents who could afford them.
