Can they say that? Isn’t that hate speech? Islamophobia!

Didnt science declare Stonehenge a great big BBQ pit a few years ago? So they used the fat off the ribs? The People Who Built Stonehenge Loved BBQ

They collected the fat from pigs because that was one of the few sources they had.

Protein is not hard to find in the wild, carbs a bit harder but fat is the real prize especially in winter.

Obvious a Christian monument then; muslims and Jews would have no part of the slippery pork

In Egypt they supposedly used a technique of wetting the sand under the runners of sleds to move those big blocks. No word on how they used the sand on the upper reaches of the pyramids though.

Think I’m going with the use of a sound secret to move blocks at least for today. :-)

Were there really enough herds of pigs in England back then to supply the amount of bacon fat. Long pig could be another source of fat for this theory.

Takes a LOT of pigs to render out that much lard.

And those old-time pigs, which probably resembled Arkansas razorbacks, probably did not have too much lard on each one to begin with.

Lubricated megaliths would certainly have sparked “scientific” inquiry about gravity, mass, and acceleration long before Newton’s analysis of falling apple. /sarc

There’s also a question of mortality rate with the laborers that handled such megaliths.

Aw shucks. As I sit in front of my computer screen while eating my scrambled eggs and bacon I was still holding out hope for the alien explanation for Stonehenge!

If they were collecting fat dripping off of pigs that were roasting on the spit, then the pots were sitting in the coals.

Fat is flammable.

How’d that work?

Imo, it’s far more likely that, since this is from an era that is pre food nazi and when people actually worked really hard in manual labor on a day to day basis, fat was stored as a calorie source.

Imagine yourself going to the leader of your people and explaining that your plan to build the big new “calendar” is to move the giant slabs of rock using the grease from every pig on the island.

That is a lot of bacon and fat-back.

I don’t know how they got the rocks there. I am pretty sure the “let’s kill all of the pigs” plan was not used. Maybe to slip them into place—not to move them very far across a rocky landscape.

There’s been an ongoing cover-up for the the real answer - Merlin moved them through levitation.
