Probably didnt think about the accomplishment, figured it out, did it and went on. We are mystified because we need the fancies.....

Credos to the guy in the video....

It is very impressive and I'm sure some sort of variant was used but it appears (from pictures) the bottom of the stones at Stonehenge aren't underground (unlike this demo), they're on ground which would be much harder to get upright and to be supported.

There are still so many mysteries though like the stones of Machu Picchu/ Sacred Valley or pyamids of Giza. How did they lift the stones on one another or move them such great distances?
