...is that the monuments took a lot of people a lot of time and appear to be in a state of constant tinkering.

...so there is a theory that the continual building and altering of them was also part of why they were an important focus for the communities who used them, a continuous communial effort.

I also like the idea that they may have been used not just for trade fairs, but for betrothal and 'marriage' ceremonies taking place between neighbouring groups (stopping the inbreeding and all that).
