it, because there are no sources of such stones anywhere nearby.
These stones were imported to the site from the Preseli Mountains—
some 380 kilometers (240 miles) away. If, as evolutionist historians
claim, the people of that time lived under primitive conditions, with
the only tools at their disposal being wooden cranks, timber rafts
and stone axes, then how could they transport these stones all the
way to the region where Stonehenge now stands? This question can-
not be answered by scenarios that are mere figments of conjecture.
One group of researchers tried to transport bluestones as far as
Stonehenge by reconstructing the equipment supposedly used at the
time. To that end, they used wooden cranks, built a raft able to carry
Stonehenge may have been erected as the building blocks of a
wooden construction. A wooden building erected on this would have
been unaffected by wind and storms. It is likely that only the founda-
tions of the building have survived. The methods and motives for the
construction of Stonehenge are still a matter for debate, but one im-
portant feature revealed by scientists is its relationship with astron-
omy. The people who built this structure possessed an advanced
knowledge of the heavens, as well as of engineering.
