I believe they found the stones using a form of ground penetrating radar, much like treasure hunters use. It can easily distinguish between soil and solid rock.

I live right by stonehege. It seems to me that the whole Salisbury plain area definitely has some kind of significance.. There are lots of stone monuments in this area, not just stonehenge, all dating to around the same period in history.
I can't really speculate on the purpose, but there is definitely something "magical" about this bit of England.
It's unsurprising to me that there is more to stonehenge than meets the eye. I reckon the whole site has been used as a place of worship for a lot longer than 4000 years. When it's mushroom season the whole area is one of the best places in the UK for picking, and it's in relatively close proximity to ancient hubs of civilisation.
I also believe that in the absence of mindless preoccupation (internet, tv, accumulation of wealth etc), why wouldn't humans just create art for the sake of art? Why not leave something behind that is going to mark your cultures existence on the face of the planet?

There is a lot more to ancient civilizations than most people realize. They found proof that the ancient Egyptians knew how to electroplate and discovered that some objects they thought were solid metal were just plated. That means they knew how to produce and use electricity and who knows what else?

Electroplating isn't very difficult, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if one or more ancient societies figured it at. Even during the Englightenment, electromagnetism was considered a curiosity and most didn't think it was likely to be useful for anything substantial.

Many things are easy if you have the know how. Years from now they may say we had all the materials and technology to make fusion reactors and anti gravity devices, we just didn't know how to put them together properly. If they could electroplate, which we didn't know before, what else did they do that we still haven't found out about?

how do they know someone didn't just steal the real solid gold shit and then electroplate a fake one then claim it was done by them to cover up the fact that they stole pounds and pounds of gold

That's true, but there's evidence that societies at least that old were at least aware of how to build a very crude battery and, I believe, speculation that it may have been used for electroplating. If it is true there are artifacts that were electroplated, which requires less assumpptions? That this relatively crude use of electricity was used for electroplating was stumbled upon by people experimenting with chemistry, or that an undocumented outside source imparted the knowledge?

Crude? You can make a crude battery with a pile of different metals having the right chemicals between them. But none of that is intuitive, it takes a lot of research to get that far and they end up with something having no apparent use. You need an industrial society or at least a fairly sophisticated one to do the work needed to go from that to electroplating.
It sounds obvious to us how to do it since we grew up with that stuff but its like saying why didn't they have cars a few thousand years ago since they were able to smelt metal.

I highly recommend listening to the Stuff You Should Know podcast episode called "How Stonehenge Works"
It truly is mind blowing and there is really no explanation for how it was possible to build megalithic structures on this scale in the fucking stone age.

no you dont its just a bunch of stuff thats sitting around, its really not that complex. It could have easily been discovered serendipitously. Ton of people jus fucking around with shit for generations much stranger shit has happened.
