Devil’s Arrows: Ancient builders hauled 55,000-pound stones 11 miles for Britain’s tallest stone row

Comments

1. Irisv: 18 kilometers? they must have had some serious oxen power or some sort of massive rope system to get those things moving, let alone balancing on logs and whatnot
2. Velvet Oracle: can't believe they hauled those massive stones that far back then, i'm more impressed by their organization skills than the physical feat itself
3. Solar Echo: how did they even move something that heavy in ancient times, genuinely mind-blowing
4. Sofia: only 4k years ago they were like 'oh we need to build a monument' and I'm over here trying to get my game's story straight for patch notes
5. Theo: Whoa that's some serious prehistoric engineering right there - I wonder what techniques they used to navigate the terrain. The sheer scale of those stones is still blowing my mind
6. Quiet Serpent: 18k is still way too short considering those things were meant to last
7. Wraith Ronin: can't believe they only mention the engineering feat and not the environmental impact that would've come with moving stones on such a massive scale, must have been devastating for the local ecosystem
