How did the stones at Stonehenge end up on top?

Most welcome of course.

 

Anything is possible, but the alien theory seems unlikely. Stonehenge is impressive, but it seems to me that beings capable of interstellar travel could do a lot better than that!
From what I've read, Stonehenge seems to have been built in a half-dozen stages spanng a period of at least 2 and a half millenia, fromn the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods thru the middle of the Bronze Age. Stonehenge - Third stage: 2470–2280 bce It seems to have started as a burial site, and took on more religious functions as time went on. As you say, Most of the bluestones seem to have come from the Preseli mountains in Southwestern Wales, and the sandstone monoliths came from a site near there. It seems likely they were already being used in those locations and were transported later. For what reason? Apparently, the Stonehenge site was one of those sacred places Eliade calls hierophanies. A somewhat similar site was found underwater in Spain exposed by the recent drought in Europe 'Spanish Stonehenge' emerges from drought-hit dam, and an earlier Neolithic site was found at Gobeki tepe in Turkey. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/gobekli-tepe-the-worlds-first-temple-83613665/They are often characterize as primitive temples, although the exact functions are unknown. But in each case, the people who built them went to an amazing amount of trouble , using Stone Age technology. This seems to be about the time religion moved from nature worship to a focus on deities. IConstructionalso seems to have played important social and political functions in binding societies together in a common project and enhancing the importance of rulers and priest who directed them.

 

Since Candy Gal started this thread and asked how. I think Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, could have lived in a previous life.
Just a bit of humor. But who knows?

 

Lol love it.

 

They had a switch that reduced the force of gravity to just above zero.
The problem was, that when they started jumping for joy, they jumped right out of the earths atmosphere.
They are still floating around somewhere out there.

Wills has a scientific answer for almost everything.

 

I know that by now. lol

A nifty pseudomrph is the Cadillac Ranch near Amarillo, Texas with Cadillacs sticking out of the plains. It lacks Cadillacs across the top but wouldn’t have been a problem since the dude that funded the installation was a helium millionaire!

 

Saw that in Spoons Photos.

 

Along with the Tor at Glastonbury, I've always found Avebury to have a Spiritualism of yester-year that seems to fill the environment.
At / near to the long barrow in West Kennet, there is an aura of special significance - I have found

I must visit.

 

My vote is for the way the Egyptians did it. They built a ramp of earth. planks and stones, and they dragged the stones up to the ramp and put in place. They had lots of people and time.

 

What better way to earn revenue from TV programs, than from creating the question and then having to answer it?
