Massive weights can be moved by human power alone

This guy thinks he has discovered how Stonehenge was built. The video is pretty convincing.

I think it should be pronounced "stone heng-uh" , with the "ng" pronounced the same way as in "sing".

Cool find, Opsec!

This guy should write an eDocument about handling heavy loads with simple techniques and tools.

Waaaaay cool. Saw some detailed workups of how the rocks for the real Stonehenge were moved around and where they actually came from (some more than 200 km of travel). Not sure might have been Nat'l Geo or maybe even History Channel. Our ancestors knew more than us about soooooo many things.

Wally is showing us why no aliens were required to build the pyramids at Giza or that monument to the transition from hunter gatherer societies based on the lunar cycles to the agrarian societies based on the sun. Vey intreresting astronomy done at Stonehenge. Not only did those folks know how to move big stuff they knew more about the heaveans and the relationships between the sun, moon, and earth than almost any culture in the CE.

This video comes at the perfect time for me as I have to move some massive boulders (up to 3000#). 

Also, it's a great metaphor for how we can accomplish the seemingly impossible in our lives (addiction, debt, eliminate fear, doubt and uncertainty).
