Hello all.
I'm fairly new to Sleuth and I thought I might share a little hobby of mine with you all. Here's something for that sad moment when the mysteries of the day are all done.

Thousands lay up gold within this house,
but no man made it.
Spears past counting guard this house,
but no man wards it.
What is it?

Jax123: wrong, but a worthy attempt. Give it another try.
Blaise: Since there is that ambiguity, I'll settle on yours. The answer I have is "Because Poe wrote on both".

I thought it was time again, to get this thread resurfaced.

Here we go, new riddle:
It is estimated that the earth weighs 6 sextillion tons. How much more would the earth weigh of one sextillion tons of concrete and stone were used to build a large wall?
