Clearly much easier because the earth was flat then.

There's a documentary I've seen where a chap moves stone blocks weighing "a lot" on his own,including putting one on the other using wooden rollers,seesaw type thing and pegs.

 

[Chippy_Tea]

I have seen those Clint.

What I don't get with these huge stones is how accurately they are cut what tools did they use beck than to cut them so precisely

 

[The Baron]

Foraging them is fine it's the quantity you are eating that's the problem

I think the Romans used wood and water. Drilled a hole, pushed a wooden wedge in then poured water on the wedge. It soaked up the water, expanded and split the stone along it's grain.

Obviously the aliens told them how to do it.

Do we know why the monoliths were made ?

Splitting along the grain would not give perfect 90 degrees corners etc.

I'm sorry, it was my fault causing @The Baron to recount his abduction/encounter.

Or were you out making crop circles in the nice weather. I'm not sure I approve of minor reductions in grain harvest.

 

[The Baron]

They are not crop circles but landing marks after they returned me
