Isn't it just? While not a believer in the supernatural - that is something beyond the physical here and now - in a literal sense (don't discount the possibility, but need evidence to entertain a likelihood) I'm becoming more and more convinced that monuments were located with the utmost care so various factors could play upon and manipulate the human psyche to the benefit of whomever controlled local society. To play mind games, take advantage of anticipated weather conditions. The obvious examples are too obvious to name. Why else, for example, would people have toiled erecting cairns upon mountaintops that can't even be seen from valley level? Lead people up there in mist, however, and you've a captive audience to mould to your will through theatrics, autosuggestion.
