i like how all the sudden everyone becomes an Archeologist when they watch this lol !

The reason you don't find many ancient copper tools is because the metal was more sought after and was re-smelter-ed after the tools were worn out.

@abarrathe You troll! LoL Try spelling Germany correctly first. Second, Goseck isn't comparable with Stonehenge. It isn't even a megalithic monument. It has no stones. Yes, Goseck is an interesting and old site, but Germany ain't the centre of the universe! Try looking at Mesopotamia. Far older temples, far more impressive than an earthen ring. You seem to want to make some kind of point bombing every SH link with this material. Do you work there or is this a "mine is bigger than yours" thing?

look up goseck circle and learn that the garmenys were the most advance in solar observation during the neolthic

@GoldenSilence16 Moving a block of stone that size is not so difficult . I have a Guidebook for stonehenge circa 1960 witha photo of six teenagers using two small boats lashed side by side to transport a full sze concrete replicea of a bluestone up river . they were just poling the craft along . 16 of them could drag it over land using logs as rollers.

@sonofherne Your comment is spot on

@Revival1969 - I don't recall my comment being unorthodox. I'm not even sure what would constitute 'orthodox' when discussing relatively indefinable prehistory.

Oh well, "whatever I said, what ever I did, I didn't mean it"... Oh no, wait that's song lyrics :]

@Revival1969 An inability to answer a question as to how something like the stone at Baalbek, an estimated 1,200 tons, simply means that there are things we don't understand, not, that history is bollocks. I am well aware of how smart the ancient prehistoric people were so I don't understand what youre trying to impress on me.I agree.We're discussing Stonehenge at the minute & the average weight of each stone is between 20-48 tons, 5 tons for the bluestones. 10 tons = 100 men needed on average.

@sonofherne Try moving a 1000 ton statue in Egypt or a 1000+ ton block in Baalbek then, impossible without breaking it apart, the ancients knew how to easily move massive stone blocks, use them to make complicated structures, and today we can not. Orthodox history is utter bollocks.
