<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I have no makor, but I always simply assumed they built
the four vertical sides (without top or bottom), then filled it with earth, and
finally applied the top surface once filled. I did wonder whether there are any
issues requiring full contact of the Adamah and the top (and sides) over the
entire surface which might be difficult to achieve throughout.</FONT></DIV>
