i thought Merlin moved them, or was that the bigger stones?

no one is ever going to know really, theres some stones there, and they look good, and to be honest it cant be proved either way how they got there.

at this point im going to point out that they obviously got there by camel.

I can't go with the transportation theory at all, it just seems an impossible and implausible feat, the tides, currents etc.
Look how the experiment to transport just a single stone failed so miserably.
I could be open minded to a combination of glaciation and human transportation with the bluestones being dumped in england then dragged to stonehenge but transportation alone, nah, i'm with Burl.

merlin was said to have bought the stones from Ireland so the drawings of him towering over the stones is possible if thay were the small bluestones.
On the other hand if the sarsens were bought from Ireland then where the hell did they come from?
