Thanks for the explanation of my queries on the model.

>Nope, were going for the biggy. A full Trilithon with 40 ton uprights.

So, we are talking about the erection of one of the inner horseshoe of trilithons at Stonehenge, utilising the stones used by the BBC in their experiment.

Presumably, that would entail the `rowing` of three stones to an 8 feet deep hole (both uprights would have to go into the same hole). The raising of the two uprights on their platforms to a sweet height to tip into the hole, followed by the raising of a lintel, twenty feet above the ground on its tower, for lateral movement onto the uprights.

I can foresee a few serious problems!

Do we know the dimensions of the BBC stones?
