Stonehenge and Easter Island have enormous boulders that have been moved great distances. It took a lot of engineering to accomplish those feats.
Shape and also transport (sometimes over considerable distances) large pieces of stone which they then managed to erect in their chosen location. It is a remarkable example of man moving large intact objects, carve things, and have an understanding of the relationship of the Sun to the seasons and calendar.
They planned and built complex structures, placed large statues and figured out ways to lift things in a time when man had no machines to help them do this. It is a mystery today how they built Stonehenge, and got the Statues on Easter Island.

The archaeological discoveries at Stonehenge and Easter Island offer insights into early human ingenuity in constructing complex monuments with limited technology. These sites demonstrate the innovative engineering skills and astronomical knowledge of ancient civilizations.
Stand enormous stones up vertically.
figure out ways to lift things is one answer- but there is much more to Stonehenge than 'lifting things'
An Easter island head.
No Stonehenge is located in England some where.
Easter Island has over 800 statues that were hand carved by the natives around 1100 to 1680 CE. The statues were made to represent a deceased loved one. Stonehenge is a ring of stones that were raided around 2300 BC. Stonehenge is believed to be a place for healing or for astronomical observation.
Well - move heavy stones is the obvious answer, but in the case of Stonehenge also to apply quite extraordinary buildong and surveying skill - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonehenge Transport large stones over considerable distances and then erect them using only, allegedly, primitive tools.

Jacob Roggeveen but I don't think he was an archaeologist.
The discovery that very large and heavy stones at Stonehenge and that very large and heavy Moai heads at Easter Island had been moved great distances are viewed as remarkable. These examples of early mans' ability to transport large and heavy pieces of stone over considerable distances, and the ability to erect these same stones in their chosen location, using only primitive tools allegedly would prevent serious problems today, even for people equipped with heavy machinery.
These archaeological discoveries showcase early man's ability to construct impressive monumental structures using limited technology and resources. Stonehenge demonstrates advanced engineering and astronomical understanding, while the statues of Easter Island exhibit sophisticated sculpting techniques and cultural significance. Both sites reflect the ingenuity and creativity of ancient civilizations in creating enduring and enigmatic landmarks.
The first European to discover the island did so on Easter Sunday, 1722.
