Tens of thousands is s bit of a stretch in terms of megalithic masonry. But I get your point.

The conflicting evidence to the glacier theory is that where the "blue stones" are hypothesized to come from in Wales have shown large feasts and festivals, suggesting there were large gatherings, with plenty of calories to fuel people to cut out and drag large stones.

The tribal angle is important tho, as it indicates there must have been a sort of royal figures for all the tirbes to congregate, I can't imagine they were just naturally egalitarian to meet up and move large rocks just for the sake of it.

but what of the ley lines ? thats the thing that really does puzzle me all these standing stones are on ley lines
and the ley lines go from volcanic plug to volcanic plug etc.
ludovic mann wrote about them a lot and states that Glasgow was even founded on the ley lines
people always go on about tartarian mud flood and lost tech , if your looking for auld tech then why not look towards the stones and the ley lines , ive heard from someone on ATS that the leys are actually just dormant and need repaired "activated" so to speak. but this grid is built upon a much older grid

Id never thought of that before , its a meeting point of the tribes who have joined a Union
or pact of self defense or something , and they each bring a stone to the circle and they lay the stone
they raise the stones together in a ceremony of union
and this is where they meet to discuss their issues or agree to unite and go to war with a neighbouring enemy.

I have similar thoughts - It's an incredible feat of engineering without the transporting of tonnes of stones from 100s of miles away.
The new study described the Menga Dolmen as a one-of-a-kind example of “creative genius” and “early science” in a Neolithic society, a time when agriculture recently was adopted as a way of life and tools were made largely of stone and other natural materials rather than metal, and no written language existed.
“You see that these people knew about physics, friction, angles. They knew about geology. They knew the properties of the rocks, they knew about geometry,“ García Sanjuán said.
“Put these things together (and) what do you have? We have to call it science. We’ve never talked about Neolithic science before only because we are too arrogant to think that these people could do science the way we do it.”
“If any engineer today tried to build Menga with the resources that existed 6,000 years ago, I don’t think they could do it.”

I don't know much/anything about tribes in pre-Roman times but this must have taken huge co-operation and some strong form of alliance between them, sharing of tech, resources, food etc and incredible planning over 100s of years.

Its good watch mate and Julian Cope's enthusiasm is infectious.
I've always meant to read his books but simply never got round to it.....I'll have to make sure I fix that.

@15:00 in the video he is talking about the mythology of Long Meg, they said that if the stones were to be removed they would bleed he then goes on to say that the farmer tried to remove them at one point and there was a huge thunder clap and lightning strike and it scared off all the workers and so they remained.
Now that got me thinking about the energy again
what if these stones act as some sort of atmospheric control , by grounding the natural build up of energies in the atmosphere.
perhaps at one point great britian was just wild storms and lightning and then they built the stone circles to calm it down and these geomagnetic energies are emitted from volcanic fissues dykes and plugs
Thames Water and Severn Trent Water are still use dowsing rods to detect leaks despite scientific studies showing that the method is ineffective.
A 2017 investigation found that 10 out of 12 water companies were regularly using water dowsing to detect leaks, prompting criticism from some academics that regulators should step in to stop the practice of “witchcraft” at customers’ cost.

Some water companies in the UK still use dowsing rods to detect leaks even though scientist don't believe it works.
