With all the recent publicity about the 'Stonehengineers' and the fantastic effort that they have been putting into our quest for a greater understanding of the mechanics required to move 40 ton stone blocks without the use of wheels, roads (?) or domesticated animals.

I was reflecting on the possibility of the stones been moved in the winter months
using sledges on snow.

Anyone ever came across this idea before?

The climate then, as far as I'm aware, was a lot more continental, in that the summers were hotter and drier and the winters were colder.

Any thoughts?
