Didn’t he die without revealing the secret?
Give me a lever large enough and I will move the earth...
The most boring place ever.

It’s sad to think that when Britain becomes a part of the islamic caliphate, the savages will probably blow it up.
The first part of that video reminded me of the Tom Hanks version of “Dragnet”.
These things don't have to be so imponderably ponderous.
There is much lost knowledge. people today can’t seem to do anything without an app. there was a time people built great things with their hands and the right tools.
I don't suppose the hardwood track surfaces were greased with animal fat from roasted meat or milk products?? I don't see this mentioned anywhere . . .

Superduper!
I like the last one the most.
Thanks for posting it.
Dirt ramp. Pile dirt up all around the posts. When you have enough dirt, drag your lintel up the ramp, place it, repeat for all posts. Now, everyone grabs a basket and digs away until you have nothing but your new Stonehenge. Smooth out the site, put in your chalk holes to count the eclipses, erect your sighting stone along the line for the solstice and finish up the rest of the landscape. (Oak trees and mistletoe!) Finally have a dedication ceremony, hopefully without human sacrifice, and drinks all around.
Obviously of we prove they could move the little ones, the big ones are no problem (somebody may have to rethink that)
First thing I thought of...
There’s a guy on youtube who is building a Stonhenge by himself. One person can walk the stones rather than dragging them.

Carpenter: The second-floor lintels between the lally columns, should we rabbet them?
Mr. B: The second-floor lallies?
C: Second-floor lintels between the lallies.
MB: Oh, the lintels between the lallies.
C: Yeah, from the blueprints you can’t tell.
You want they should be rabbeted?
MB: No, no, I guess not.
C: Okay, you’re the doctor. Hey, fellas! If you got any of them
rabbeted lintels set, rip them up!
[Loud crashing and ripping sounds...]
Mr. B: It sounded less expensive to say no.
- What’s the matter? Is something wrong?
- How do you like that?
-I broke my bucket.
-Two times this week, I broke my bucket.
- What did you do, hit a boulder?
- That’s no boulder. That’s a ledge.
- What does that mean?
- Means we gotta blast.
- Blast?
- Blast, with dynamite.
- What do you mean?
- What do you mean, “what do you mean”?
-Mr. Zucca explained, he has to use
-dynamite to blast to get rid of the rock.
-That’s no rock. That’s a ledge.
-What Mr. Blandings means is,
-what precisely is a ledge?
-A ledge is like a big stone,
-only it’s bigger.
- Like a boulder.
- No, like a ledge.
- Like a ledge.
- But you don’t have to worry.
-It only costs $ a cubic yard,
-plus the dynamite and the fuse.
-How far will you have to blast?
-Hard to tell. Might be a little baby ledge,
-might run the whole top of the mountain.
-At $ a yard,
-do you realize what that means?
-It means we gotta blast.
