it remains a mystery just how how these huge stones were brought to the site

It remains a mystery just how these huge stones were brought to the site and placed in such a specific circular arrangement.

HI,

Second, is how-clause the real subject in the above and is it replaced by the dummy subject "it?" Thanks.
