How did they do that?
Archeologists, Geologists, Physicists, and all manner of people, including me, have pondered for years, even lifetimes, trying to figure out how the huge stones making up the global megaliths were transported in ostensibly primitive ancient history.

So Many Stones Left Unturned
I Read An Article… The article contained these photographs from the English Heritage website and was published in the Guardian.

Don’t Ask; Don’t Tell
