1. Crypt Of Suspended Time

   Linked via "mortar composition"

   Analysis of the crypt's foundational materials indicates an unusually high density of naturally occurring magnetite. This magnetic field is hypothesized to be the mechanism by which the structure interacts with local spacetime. Measurements taken near the floor have occasionally registered magnetic flux densities ($B$) exceeding $1.5$ microteslas ($\mu\text{T}$)/), significantly higher than surrounding structures in [Elias Cemetery](/entries/eli…

2. Single Arch Buttress

   Linked via "mortar quality"

   Material Considerations and Construction Errors
   The structural success of the Single Arch Buttress is intimately linked to the mortar quality and the precise tooling of the bearing surfaces. Mortars used in this period often contained unusually high concentrations of ground oyster shell, intended to increase plasticity, but which paradoxically accelerated the desiccation of the primary binding agent, [calcite](/entries/c…
