Gosh, they had giants then too - the chap on the left must be about 12 feet tall. Obviously a reference to Genesis 6:4.

Come to think of it, if you have giants you don't need tech.

And teaching the locals about seasons. Because someone from Egypt would of course know everything about the seasons in Orkney.

I am sure Erich von Daniken would have something to say on the matter

Alternatively, one can just grab a couple of dozen schoolchildren who, between them, are quite capable of moving large stones, especially if the grass is wet.
