Stonehenge’s altar stone was carried all the way from north-east Scotland. But how? (wrong answers only)

Didn’t Merlin use magic and float them all into place in one night? That’s what Geoffrey of Mommouth tells us.

Oh, you said wrong answers only. Never mind.

Ok, but I hope you know they’re Irish not Scottish.

Now I just have to figure out what to do with the heavy crate in the basement, to clear out the house. I guess I’ll put it in storage.

Merlin subcontracted to Scottish giants.

Meh. The statues (moai) of Rapa Nui (Easter Island) average over 12 tonnes, with the largest over 80 tonnes. If the aliens could move those, they certainly had tractor beams capable of moving the altar stone. :moyai:

I was visualizing an extremely long road from John O’Groats to Wiltshire, covered in log rollers. And heavy stones.

But.

The logs are all from trees cut to proper size by trained beavers, who have been bred for purpose by the druids, themselves having been bred for purpose by space aliens, who have been bred for purpose by the Scottish stones themselves, who knew that it would be impossible to teach any of the actors involved the ancient esoteric Tibetan Levitation of Heavy Stuff Using Overtone Singing and Other Frequencies technique.

A lot of postage stamps. This was before Royal Mail had instituted parcel weight limits, and in fact is the reason why such limits exist.

Dehydrate it in Orkney; carry it to Amesbury in a knapsack, add water; drag it down the 303.

The stone wasn’t moved at all.

The druids folded and unfolded space.

Yeah, the altar stone was already there when they arrived to build Stonehenge. They just dumped the unused leftover rocks in Scotland.

What a world we live in that such a thing exists. I will never taste it but I’m glad it’s there.
