   yes?   
      
   Keep in mind however these sites *became* part of Gaul only millennia   
   later. There was no "Gaul" when they were built. Not even close. Let's not   
   allow modernist anachronism get in the way of sound and plausible history.

   Certainly not anyone doing it for abstract reasons such as building a temple   
   to some mysterious pagan deities, as you and all other recovering   
   religionists on the block suggest; including their dogs.

   If the sun comes up because your horned god has a bowel movement,   
   it is likely that we're doomed as soon as he loses his appetite.
