I have also seen convincing methods, in some cases reconstructed, for Stonehenge to be made. Human ingenuity was and is quite awsome when it has determination and time. Of course we maybe have the aliens to thank for engineering that ingenuity into us... :) And with wooden scaffolding and the simple physics of pulleys and the basic old chemistry of cement and the careful crafting of chisseling Salisbury was raised, and what an awesome feat it was too (and not done quickly either).

Many things puzzle me but how Salisbury cathedral was built is not one of them.

I sure would love to know how they erected that with no modern-day scaffolding.
