molds were built and the limestone in the pyramids were poured into place. Would explain the bubbles in the limestone and the fact that they did not have the metal to cut limestone then.
Stonhenge built?

well there are no written histories of it, but they do have some very good ideas about how they were built, if you watched educational television you might find out. rocks cut and rolled on logs or slid on sledges, put on barges and moved down river, sledged to the place they were to be put, and shoved and pulled into place often up ramps of dirt, then the dirt all removed again. they actually filled in a whole city around the pyramids where the builders lived, with the dirt from the ramps. all human powered, and they werent even slaves. they were paid labor. stonehenge was built and modified and changed over a very long period of time. by several groups of people.

The building of the pyramids in Giza plain (Egypt) are well documented and we know exactly how they were built - using millions of slaves (but at that time it was common and morally correct to use slave labor), pulley systems and wheels.
I guess Stonehenge was built using similar methods, also the stones could have been transported on barges through rivers.

One block at a time. : ) Seriously though check out the coral castle in Florida. The guy who built that did it by himself and some of the stones are larger that the ones in the pyramids. He took the secret to his grave but he figured it out.

People know how they do it. Easy, just place the cubical stone on its place till the final pyramid stone. Simple and square. What's so difficult?
