I found this really interesting. This guy is building his own Stonehenge with simple handmade tools.

If it was done before, it can be done again. I'm always amazed that people even think man had to be a genius to build something substantial.

It's like inventing the wheel. A three year old kid will roll a rock down a hill once he sees it. It's not rocket science stuff.

Stonehenge: Where Atlantis Died
(1972)
A novel by Harry Harrison

This rousing adventure story set in the Europe of 1473 B. C. Above all sets out to entertain. But it also has a rather more serious purpose - to expound another theory about the reasons for the building of the fascinating stone circles.

That was the single coolest thing I have ever seen in my life.

I love you.

Will you be my friend?

I have no friends.

I promise not to come over too much.

I’m “moved” by your response!

I’m “moved” by your response!

When it comes to me, moving closer to the shotgun is never a bad idea.

Man, I’d love to be his next door neighbor.

That was a cool video. I’ll show the kids this afternoon.

Thanks

If you read some of the comments on the Steve Fossett thread, you would conclude this man's endeavor is meaningless because Stonehenge has already been built, yada yada.

Great find. Thanks for posting.

But on the flip side, the ah, indigenous Native American Injuns of the Americas didn't have no wheel when the filthy European invaders came. They had rocks, they had hills, but they never put it all together. (of course, for my money, the tricky part about "the wheel" is actually "the axle".

Actually it seems like I remember reading that the Mayans/Incas? had toy carts with wheels that the children played with, but never expanded on them.

Real use of the wheel was linked with the development of draft animals. Geography may have had a hand in it as well.
