Was confused by this old grave setup until I checked how the sun hits it.

I mean, idk, maybe they planned it that way on purpose.

Ever notice how old cemeteries face weird directions? Saw one in Arizona where all the stones were laid flat, like big sidewalks. Turns out it was easier to carve the names facing up, and the sun just bleached them white over time. Made it look planned but it was really just people being practical with the tools they had. Makes you wonder how much of that old stuff we think is deep meaning was just about what was easiest to do.

Woah, my friend who does grave rubbings said the same thing last year!
