What's so wonderful? It could have been done by 10 guys in their spare time. ;-)

See This Man can Move Anything video on YouTube.

Since I'm on a s-l-o-w dialup connection, I don't "do" YouTube... I am assuming the "mover" is Wallace Wallington, whose "Forgotten Technology" website is at http://www.theforgottentechnology.com.

I have downloaded most of Wallington's shorter videos, and they are quite impressive. In fact, I can hardly keep from laughing out loud at the sheer pleasure of watching him use his sinusoidal "round road" to effortlessly roll his (square-section) counterweight from one end of the big block to the other. (I'm laughing at myself -- as in, "You dummy! Why didn't you think of that?")

'-}

But, his "two-fulcrum teeter-totter 'walking' " technique does require a smooth, flat, hard surface. There is no evidence that such a platform ever existed at Baalbek...
