You watch the discovery channel too much.
Personally I think it was more of a mythology or ritual thing, Moving those large heavy blue stones hundreds of miles seems like a lot of trouble just to see the summer solstice or even other astronomical events. People did crazy things in those days(2-3 thousand BC) for silly religious reasons, just look at the pyramids!
