Stonehenge Reloaded….by Wally
Posted on | July 29, 2009 | 1 Comment
Wally Wallington, from Michigan, has shown how one person can lift and drop a 22,000 lbs concrete pillar into position, just as the builders of Stonehenge would have had to do 4,000 years ago (or as the builders of the giant Standing Stones o’ Stenness on Orkney might have done more than 3,000 years ago). He also demonstrated how one man can shift a whole barn more than 300 ft along the ground.
Ingenious!
