I thought it was rubbish. All that stuff about 'healing'. Pah! I suspect that a huge proportion of the population at that time had chronic injuries and disease of one kind or another.
Anyone who has visited any part of the world where access to the kind of health care we enjoy is either limited or non-existent knows that chronic injuries and disease are still common and everyday among vast swathes of those populations.
Yes, people chip off bits of stone from sacred monuments, but that doesn't account for the many chips of bluestone found in the pit. If you were chipping bits off the stones you'd take them away with you not let them fall.
It was all conjecture based on *nothing*.
Very disappointed.
