I've always been fascinated by Stonehenge. How did they get such huge rocks in place 5,000 years ago that way?

Here is what I find fascinating: There's an astronomical/mathematical order to the arrangement of the rocks, some of them weigh over 50 tons, it took about 1,500 years to complete and no one is sure why they are even there.

Now, there are findings indicating that whatever Stonehenge was, up to 240 people were cremated and buried there and it was a major burial ground for a lot longer than anyone ever thought: at least 500 years. Think about that. This country has only been around for about 240 years.

Whatever Stonehenge was, it apparently held tremendous meaning for the people who lived there 5,000 years ago. But it reminds me of the scene in Field of Dreams when Kevin Cosner builds a baseball field in a cornfield and when he's finished says something to the effect of, "I've done something that is totally illogical."

There's more on the recent report here.
