"-two incredible drawn theories of how 'the Druids' raised the stones using LEVERS and wooden blocks (Goughs maps 229, page 37 and Gough's maps, page 11)"

Stu - would you know whether those are published anywhere?

and Jane, any chance that you could sketch the methods from memory for the Stonehengineers?

I already asked stu if he would mind finding out whether the images of stone lifting I saw were reproduced. I had a web search yesterday and couldn't find the images anywhere, which i find unbelievable!

If needs be I can go back one lunchtime and copy them in a drawing. There's no way i could reproduce it from memory.

Theres also an Alan Sorrell interpretative drawing (1958) in the July/Aug BA magazine of the stones being hauled up, its interesting that he graphed his paper before sketching. Wonder if theres a book out there with all his reconstructions?
