Hi Tom,
Before accounting for where the stones have gone it's perhaps necessary to dispell a common predjudice. Because technology advanced slowly we tend to think of "old" people as less inteligent than ourselves. It isn't so. I once had to supervise the removal of two printing machines at least as massive and heavy as most stones. One man did it with levers, a winch and a few metal pipes as rollers. Twenty people with ropes and some tree trunks could probably manage these stones quite speedily. As for erecting them, some of the giant sculptures on Easter Island were re-erected by local villagers for Thor Heyerdahl using traditional methods and it didnt take many people or very long. You can see one being moved in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpNuh-J5IgE as for where the stones went, I suspect they were dressed and used for building.
