My personal gut feeling is that the stones were chosen because of these simulacra, and positioned to make the most of them.
Still, I realise these things are not quantifiable or measurable, so I guess we'll never know for sure one way or the other.
Have you wandered over to Mother's Jam and all the sarsen drifts in the valleys on the ther side of the Ridgeway? I just wonder if you'd see faces there... Mayhap Sarsen is just full of faces.
We can know, I just need a few more million pounds and I'll finish my time machine. *muahahahaha*
No, I must get to Mother's Jam sometime. If I do I'll test your theory...
