Crap head is on 60 Minutes. And that's an all-encompassing nickname. Time to switch up the whole multimedia experience here.

It must’ve been quite difficult to get that slab of stone on top of those rocks! Maybe aliens did it ....

National Geographic had a series on the Western Islands a year or two back.
I was surprised that there are several more henges on them. I guess not as spectacular as Stonehenge but still the basic idea must have been the same.

How do these “experts” know it is a portal tomb, is there a note?
Maybe, its just a bar table.

LACMA's getting their megalith to it's spot at the museum should be a case in point. Very few megaliths are moved.
LACMA's "Levitated Mass" too closed streets, cutting down trees, removing stop lights, weeks and weeks and a ton of machinery and money to move:

Dun Aengus, Inishmore, County Galway, Ireland
I had the opportunity to visit Ireland in 1970 and took a day-trip out to the Aran Islands. Dun Aengus is a spectacular Megalithic Fortress on the Atlantic cliffs of Inishmore. This photo, which was not taken by me, shows clearly the three sets of walls and, in the foreground, the Cheval de Frise. The buttresses supporting the innermost wall are modern additions.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Actually not too difficult:
1. Set upright stones in place as support columns.
2. Earth fill around these columns.
3. Earth fill a gradual slope to the height of the columns.
4. Pull/push cap slab into place over log rollers.
5. Slowly remove earth fill.
6. Hope.
Take the course “Early Civil Engineering 101” at your local
community college for details and calculations. (Don’t forget your slate tablet!)

I think I rented that place once. I think it had lead paint or something.

The reason is very simple — the construction is the same, but the best preserved ones are still covered with earth and stones, and the very best had remaining traces of the burials.

There’s a trilithon up in “Rock City” at Lookout Mountain — it’s attributed to glacial action, but...

It's occurred to me "primitive" people might feel sorry for us: we've become less and less independent, more and more constrained, less and less visionary.
