Moving Big Rocks - Amazing Video
Quote:
Wally Wallington has demonstrated that he can lift a Stonehenge-sized pillar weighing 22,000 lbs and moved a barn over 300 ft. What makes this so special is that he does it using only himself, gravity, and his incredible ingenuity.

Sort of gives insight into how massive structures, such as Stonehenge and the Pyramids may have been built.

There's no doubt we lost a lot of valuable construction methods from ancient civilisations. Time Team with Tony Robinson did a Stone Henge reconstruction a few years back, and used a couple of hundred volunteers to create the same effect. The barn was very impressive.

It'll be funny when he finally makes his own "Stonehenge Reloaded" then the city comes and tells him he's got to take it off his property or something silly like that

Pretty clever. I just want to know where we'd be if things like this lived on through time, and we were much further along technology wise.
