The same thing with things like Stonehenge. I liked the theory that said these types of constructions are the result of the prehistoric version of Burning Man, where they built it just because they could as an art installation.

It's still standing because luckily for us they didn't invent fire yet. /s

Not even /s, there are signs of posts planted upright nearby, a so-called woodhenge.

Well considering they rebuilt Stonehenge in the 1950s its possible the site is totally wrong too. Its possible it should look more like the Callanish stones.
