All manner of theories have been pitched from slave labor to complicated counter weight machines.
The latest involves the Easter Island heads. Theorists have postulated and experimented with "walking the heads," that is moving them by . . . er, I'm not sure what its called . . . so we'll go with walking.
Not sure I buy it. Seems a bit far fetched. My guess is they figured something out very simple and followed that path. Or they cast transmute dirt to stone spells after sculpting the dirt.
Read the info at LiveScience.
Come to think of it, maybe it isn't a simple problem.

No one ever seems to consider the possibility that they had one or two REALLY strong guys to do this stuff.
There's some youtube videos of Wally Wallington moving and setting large concrete stones by himself. Don't know if the builders of Stonehenge used the same techniques, but it's pretty cool to watch.
