it never really says how they got the horizontal blocks along the tops of the vertical ones.

they could have gotten the ones across the top the same way he lifted his 3 feet. It would have taken forever and you'd have to be really careful, but you could do it

very cool I like that people in America do things like this.

You could use the back and forth technique to get the horizontal block to the right height but then I don't quite see how you slide it over the support stones.

But he did it with those smaller blocks so he must have figured it out.

he probably used his method of getting the block 3 feet up horizontally, then stood up 2 blocks and slid them under it.  just a guess tho.

oh ya he could have worked one up 4 feet using the back and fourth method then put two in from the sides at 3 feet then he could have lowered it onto the blocks. kind of a cool project they should have that on mythbusters.

I highly doubt this was the real method used. This theory has probably been disproved in the years after this was made. There's no way they could have used tiny stones to cut and move huge blocks hundreds of miles to the stonehenge site. For one thing, there were no cement paths leading to the site, so the rocks would just sink into the dirt.
