A guy talks about how he figured out ways to move really big heavy objects (like multi-ton rocks) by himself using only primitive tools. He thinks this may have been how they moved rocks to build the pyramids, Stonehenge, etc.

Huh
That's kind of cool
I guess no more claiming Stonehenge is proof of alien exsistence because there's no way people could have moved those stones eh? Hehehe.

very cool...that guy must have had quite a bit of free time on his hands,, but still very cool.

Way cool! I knew we could do it back then! :woot:

yeah, i saw something about this type of thing on some documentary i watched in science class awhile back... it was pretty interesting... they made a replica of a certain type of statue somewhere, they made it where the originals were most likely carved, then they tried several methods to move the statue and raise it where the other ones were... i don't remember where this was though... oh well...

[Faeawyn]

wow...that was really fascinating!

I'm thinking that was probably Easter Island.

(shouldn't this be in history or something?)

It's a toss-up -- the thread could have gone in History, Science, or the Paranormal. I picked the one where I thought it might spur the most discussion.

[mucgwyrt]

Fair enough :D

I didnt read the whole thing (its a bit technical for me) but I do think its pretty cool he's worked it all out :uhhuhuh:

Check out this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRRDzFROMx0&eurl=) which I think is about the same guy who says he thinks he knows how Stonehenge and other stone monuments could have been put up with very simple tools.

He shows his tricks for the camera!

I saw something similar with Stonehenge. The actually chipped out a block from where they believe those stones came from and through trial and error managed to move them. It was very cool to watch.
