there is no way they would be able to drag 50 tons up that slope
Not straight up, but maybe on an oblique track? Having watched 50 Stonehengineers drag a 15 tonner up a hill, I suspect 500 could have shifted a 50 tonner.
On the other hand, I think you're probably right, very sadly!
I am still trying to work out where 500 people are going to stand with their ropes and stuff on all that slippery chalk!!
Perhaps that was the intention though - to build a circle of stone above the Earth, to be Gods in their own lifetime, but it just never happened for whatever reason. Maybe the Neolithic Health and Safety bods turned up...
