>archaeologists tried to recreate this with wood and managed to melt a few rocks, but said it would take half the trees in Scotland to melt the forts how they are now
What melted the forts, guys? Planning on going to the most impressive one in a few months, Top O' Noth to check it out.
Was it the ayy lmaos?

rain and lava and ash and titans and superheroes and aliens and ancient civiizaions and global warming and cclonic torpedos and the emperor's wrath andg;ass panels

Enemies piling wood against the walls and setting it on fire during a siege them seems reasonable.

it would take all the wood in scotland if it was all done in one fire. But we don't know that that's the case. It could have been thousands of fires over the course of several centuries.

But the fires would 't burn hot enough and couldn't be kept going long enough with the amount of wood in the area. People tried to recreate it and failed

Do we know for sure they used only wood fires? They could have had accelerants, like pitch or tar.

Obviously ancient Atlantean knowledge

Good point, but why haven't they been found in the rest of the U.K., apart from a couple in Northern Ireland?

Cultural differences? This thread is the first I've heard of them, but after a little googling, I found that one theory is that they were melted as a kind of closing ritual. They weren't going to use the fort anymore, so to honor it they gave it a proper 'burial'. Maybe the Irish and English didn't feel the need to do that, but the Picts and/or Scots did?
But idk like I said I've done practically no research.

It was super-advanced ebonoid colonists. They were ousted by Yakub's evil experiments, though.

This to be honest. It is said that they could move shit with their minds before those damn Edomites started holding brothas down

I'm assuming through a simple technique we don' know now. For example, it was lost on us how they moved the 25 ton stones that make up stonehendge, but some guy proved it is quite easy if you carve a bunch of rocks into spheres and roll the rocks along them.
Scotland did a lot of cool shit, they actually used to create artifical islands and we still don't know exactly how they did it. Pic related is one of them.
