I believe the Celts still used Stonehenge and like places for religious rituals, even though they were built long before the Celts' arrival.

Ah shit, it's not calibrated right. These guys moved these giant rocks but placed them where they would have needed to be 2000 years ago, not today. They should have added wheels or built it on a spinning plate.
