How is it then that a clear boundary can be seen between one stone and the one above it. I mean, if these are cast, and they are visually separate
blocks, how were they poured without leaving the forms in?
They would have to be poured, set and then dragged to where they were to be placed.
Uncured concrete is heavier than limestone.
