What they fail to tell you is that from 1901-1964, Stonehenge was rebuilt
From 1901-1964 Stonehenge was (re)built using cranes. For decades the official Stonehenge guidebooks have been full of fascinating facts and figures and theories surrounding the world's greatest prehistoric monument. What the glossy brochures do not mention, however, is the systematic rebuilding of the 4,000 year old stone circle throughout the 20th Century.
This is one of the dark secrets of history archaeologists don't talk about: The day they had the builders in at Stonehenge to recreate the most famous ancient monument in Britain as they thought it ought to look.
Do a search of Stonehenge rebuild, there are a number of photographs online taken during the (re)building/construction, some showing cranes being used to place the stones and footings being poured.
