STONEHENGE
« on: July 24, 2022, 02:29:27 pm »
I just read that all the Sarcen stones came from West Woods, Marlborough. If you follow the River Avon from there it gets very close to Stonehenge at West Amesbury, leaving only about 1 mile across country. In the time period the Sarcens were erected, the weather was quite a bit colder, apparently https://premium.weatherweb.net/weather-in-history-400-to.../ Therefore the river was likely frozen during the winter, which is when all the 'visitors from all over England arrived for the winter Solstice celebrations. There was also likely a lot of snow on the ground. Ice on the river and snow on the ground would have made a sled pulling job much easier, especially if Aurochs were used. I think it's pretty obvious how they moved the huge stones, now it's proven where they came from.

These people were smart. They understood mathematics, geometry, metrology as can be seen in this video
I can't imagine them struggling to move these huge stones without looking at the least line of resistance, and ice and snow would make an enormous contribution to their efforts. They were already there in the winter, so it would make perfect sense to do this.
