I can't quite make out 5-6 and 12, they are behind the shapes, but having the others might remind you of the missing.

Quote from: REFor anybody else who wants to make the trek there, it's at Greenlawn Cemetery on North National Street in Springfield , MO, 37 degrees N latitude, 93 degrees West longitude.  I used to have the location to 4 decimal places, I also can't find that.  ::)

https://greenlawnmemorialgardens.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Greenlawn-maps.pdf  Section C is the general location.

Search for Christopher Cantrell, born in 65, passed in 96, Section C, Lot 252. Spit hard enough from that headstone and you'll hit the SUN monument.

Double thanks!   8)

I can't make out the text either, but that's OK.  Gives people a reason to go visit the monument.

Great shots btw, and it looks overall like it's holding up well, particularly the Stonehenge Headpiece which I was most concerned about because of the small size of the stones and small suurface area for the glue.  They are drilled and pinned of course, but the epoxy covers the whole joining area.  Not sure what the lifespan on that stuff is.

The pins are also made from steel rebar, which will eventually oxidize even though it should be pretty well sealed airtight.  I wanted them to use basalt rebar, but it is very hard to come by and can only be purchased in large quantities.  That stuff never rusts, like the stones themselves.  So in a few hundred years the stones probably will come apart pretty easily.  Pretty heavy to pick up and run off with though, except for the small ones at the top.  Well, the polyhedrons also not too hard to carry.  The real prize for the grave robber of the future though is the Globe.  Embedded inside the globe and inscription stone are Secret Chambers which hold copies of my DNA, photographs on paper and a 10,000 word brief history of my life on earth on acid free paper, as well as a micro SD card with about 1.000.000 words of blogs I wrote, and a longer biography, if there are computers around to read it.  I only expect that if someday the dead earth is visited by Aliens and an alien Indiana Jones finds the stones.  8)

If anyone else wants to visit, 2 weeks from now on the Winter Solstice at High Noon, the SUN should fall directly between the uprights of the Stonehenge, if the whole stone was placed on the correct axis.  Still not sure about that or if I was 90 degrees off positioning the Stonehenge before pinning it.  ???  Same true for the Summer Solstice, which is a nicer time of year to go visiting.
