I thought of that. Another wild goose chase. Could not find rain stains remotely similar to what's up there.

"Time" can do everything and anything. All we have to do is allow a long period of time and all problems are solved. Time, by itself, doesn't do anything. Change/destruction requires forces, be it in a short or long period of time. If we simply say...... so much time gone by that s*** happens, then we don't have to look for the forces that actually caused the change. For some strange reason "time" explains everything.

Like for example this corner stone, that weather managed to wiggle out of place without disturbing the stones above and below. How does weather accomplish such pinpoint accuracy, I wonder.

Not necessarily. It depends on the type of quake, the type of motion. Some motions affect foundations.
