Did humans truly transport these massive stones from Wales, or could a far more natural force be responsible?...The massive bluestones, each weighing several tons, might not have been laboriously hauled over 200 kilometers by Neolithic people, as widely believed, but were instead delivered to the Stonehenge site by the relentless forces of ice.

Quick reminder...

Between (roughly) 100,000 to 20,000 years ago, most of the United Kingdom and English Channel were covered with glacial ice.

Hundreds of years before the Dawn of History. Nobody knows what it was, or what it was doing ... yet its legacy remains.

I have seen a rummage sale, I see a group of very frail people move tons of stuff for no apparent reason and zero net gain. If before the internet and TV, you could not grab 1000 people to move a big rock, plant a big rock, then have a orgy in the hopes of bringing more daylight back, your not a good witchdoctor or tribe leader.

They used SUVs to move the stones, contributing to the global warming that melted all of the ice.

Since our Evolution Step is most likely v2.0 or v3.0, it is quite possible that ESv1.0 (seeded by and helped by the aliens) were responsible.

Obviously a government program was required to move the rocks.

it’s also possible these blue stones were sent to earth from Klendathu to destroy the human race but turned out to be duds. it was early in the bug wars so everything was being tried. want to know more?

This is an old idea, and it’s known to not be true, the quarry used has been identified.
