That makes me think that 4000 years ago we humans were not dumber than nowadays; we just now got more history legacy, more learned technics. Just a thought.

Agree completely.

btw, nice find, Tim.

Have you guys seen this: This site is an old favorite- drill into the site a bit, there is a lot of video clips.- maybe it's the same guy?

(on one of the last pages he has a 'round road' which is a very cool way to roll a 'square' wheel or block of stone.)

Yes that's the same guy. Link added to first post, thanks.


It amazes me that every person I've shown this to including myself, has said they wouldn't have thought of that as a solution.
The first thing today's brain asks, when given a challenge like this, is, 'Do we have a crane big enough?'
The second thing is, 'No, then do we know the guy who can build one?'

I have too much time on my hands, wouldn't mind building another Stonehenge on one of the fields close by.

Now where do i get a few 20-ton stones

Wales I think. At least that's where they came from for the last one.

I don't think the Stonehenge stones are dropped into deep holes though.
