there is no way they would be able to drag 50 tons up that slope
I am still trying to work out where 500 people are going to stand with their ropes and stuff on all that slippery chalk!!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!
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...
