Best Answer

they didn't have the kind of tools we have today what they did was they took a stone that was sharp enough to penetrate dirt and they used it to loosen up really tough dirt then when it was loose enough and easy enough to dig through they scooped it out with their hands. If you think about it It probably took a really long time

Who believed to build the first chain of astronomical observatories in the world?

The Mayans had, apparently, been expert astronomers, but the first chain of astronomical observatories would be the Muslims in the 9th century. However, Stonehenge is, apparently according to a concept, an observation centre built by the prehistoric people who inhabited Europe.


How long did it take to build Stonehenge?

To build the whole of Stonehenge will obviously depend on how many people there was for the task. What we suggested was that, given a great concentration of effort, is the sarsen structures, the biggest bits of Stonehenge, could have been built within a period of three years. We suspect that probably it took longer. There is the opinion that Stonehenge was constructed in sections over a period of time that span as many as 300 to 500 years.
