The crowd mumbled in discussion for several minutes, then quieted, as they waited for more plans from the center of the circle. Jobia then added:
"The beast's flight must be prevented long enough for our futures and our children's futures to not know of it in all their lives. The weight on top of it must be unmovable. And it must remain undisturbed by all those who are our people and those who are not our people. It must stay buried for many years to come when we have long past and returned to the mother." Jobia did not know it at the moment but he was formulating the design of the Stonehenge tomb, nor did he realize that thousands of unknown factors remained to be dealt in the following punishing five years. As it appeared the meeting was over, the Elders began to rise, however Jobia raised his hands to quiet the meeting. The Elders sat down, the crowd settled, and Jobia spoke again but with his voice loud, his hands still raised. "We need great weight, and we need great deception that will last more moons than there are stars, to keep our secret, and so our people safe."
"Aye!" yelled out all in attendance. The hilts of their weapons again thumped the ground. All were in agreement, and the Elders rose. Jobias’ words, that ended that second meeting, were remembered well and relayed to all of the people. As the coming project proceeded, a song was written to carry his message. The melodic song became a cadence to pass the misery of the hours of labor in the several years to come. Its lyrics, understood by all young and old and “before more come,” were the first and last lines of each verse. But when the project had ended, the song was lost, as it became forbidden, as it was feared to be a clue of what the people had done.
The Eastern Sea tribe had been camping in the area now called Durrington for every gathering for centuries. They were familiar with the local land that Elder Vineao proclaimed a best site for the beast to be entombed permanently. Vineao found the flattest and widest route. It required moving the silver behemoth which was 106 meters in diameter, over 12 meters high and between 70,000 and 100,000 pounds heavy. It had to be moved southwest through four turns, first crossing a stream and climbing its slope on the other side. Then the saucer had to be pulled about 1700 meters west, alongside of the stream, before turning south for about 400 meters, and finally, pivoting to the southwest and about 700 meters into place within its tremendous hole. It was a route which made the straight line from Durrington of about 2.9 kilometers into more than a 4 kilometer journey. There were many knolls of sloping earth, and nearly 400 trees in the proposed pathway. At the chosen site where a slight grade of a long hillside began to end, a very deep hole would be dug. On top of the saucer, stones weighing as much as possible would be assembled in a circle that surrounded the rising bulge of the top of the beast. The Elders met again to discuss the technicalities of moving the giant silver bird.
"Two of its feet are facing in the direction we want to pull it, but the other two are facing too much south, toward the river.” Jobia offered to the circle. “We can't have the same sled for these two legs as the other two. We must turn their direction somehow." "I brought these sticks. I carved them fast. I thought we could behave as if they are the large sleds we will need,” said young Cardif, the Elder Jobia’s apprentice. In the center of the dirt he laid out the small sleds in a cross of four and he pointed them each in the same direction.
"Good boy. He's my favorite," Elder Vineao said, slightly embarrassed he had expressed affection for the young man. Jobia reached for the model sleds and offered an idea as he illustrated with the sticks. "What if we used two sleds, one on either side of the foot that's pointed in the wrong direction, and we point them toward the right direction holding on both sleds the long foot of each of the two legs?" "Cross ways on top of two sleds." He looked up and around him for agreement. He saw surprise and nods of understanding.

"It was amazing to the Beaker people the accomplishments they could achieve when driven by fear and terror."
