My question as usual is, considering how much megalithic building was done all the time throughout thousands of years in the British Isles alone, and considering how even the much larger "sarsen" stones are fairly puny compared with a good many monuments in other lands, what's the big freakin' deal about ancient ancestors' having moved 'em?

Why not let the stones “walk” there, just like the stones do on Easter Island?

The fellow, who built the Coral Castle near Miami claimed that he knew the secrets of Stonehenge, and the Pyramids.

Stonehenge, where the demons dwell
Where the banshees live and they do live well
Stonehenge where a man is a man
And the children dance to the pipes of pan
