The Power of One

There are alot of theories of how the pyramids were constructed, how Stonehenge was constructed, and how the Easter Island statues were raised.  Many of the theories postulate that the number of individuals required to construct these edifices was quite large.  This might not be so.

In a post titled Building Stonehenge By Yourself, Dean, over at Dean’s World, has a video linked about an individual by the name of Wally Wallington who moves blocks of stone, one weighing over 19,000 pounds, all by himself.

Wallington, who resides in Michigan, also has his own website called The Forgotten Technology.

Check out the video via Dean’s site, it’s pretty amazing, and the technology is simple.  No block and pulley action at all.
