    I think they should contact a archeologist like the ones on because these rocks are squared off as if it was a resalt in stone work and they look like they were dumped in a big rock pile which is strange because there so huge. What could lift them even our technology today could not do that but they look constructed. Giorgio A. Tsoukalos is the best one to contact if anybody knows how.
