Well the discussion about technology relates to sarsen transport, not bluestones. If you can shift the biggest sarsen (which they did) you are doing something 7 or 8x harder than shifting the biggest bluestone and 15x harder than shifting the smaller ones. So it's worth discussing!


All this stuff about loading boats, ropes and so forth? I thought this was the Bluestone debate?

Presumably there is a Sarsen debate going on somewhere else...
