I am impressed.

Often the simple solutions are the best (?Oxburg's Razor? - Spelling).

It is so simple, I am not surprised the 'experts' did not figure it out.

I am a civil-structural engineer and thought they used pulleys, ropes, levers / fulcrum principle - balancing moments etc to erect the blocks. Using fulcrums / moments, I wondered how they avoided cracking the stone blocks by 'bending' - putting part of the block into tension when righting the blocks.

Getting the top, cross bar stone blocks in place is the real challenge. There was a TV series on UK Channel 4 years ago about the construction of the wonders of the ancient world - how they achieved it. It looks like mankind lost a lot of know how during the barbarian Dark Ages in Europe at least.

Occam's Razor.

Well damn! Not space travelers, just one smart Druid! Dontcha know that 10-15 of these guys who had moving these big rocks figured out would have had a fun time buidling Stonhenge in one nice summer?

Wow!! Very impressive!!

You know, ONE guy could move those rocks, too. Just lift it up a little, and then roll it down hill on poles. All it would take is time, but with this method, you can move rocks up a hill, quite easy. All it would take is a little slave labor......

fascinating!

Dutch.

Very cool!
