According to Sporre, author of Reality through the Arts, stone as a building material can be used by stacking stones on top of one another, and this is usually called load bearing or bearing wall. This is one example given in the book, and it is amazing because it still stands today being hundreds of years old. (92) The technology that we have today did not exist back then, so for the people who constructed this structure is remarkable.
