For hundreds, maybe thousands of years, people have been trying to figure out how pr imitive people could build huge structures such as Stonehenge and the pyramids out of stone blocks weighing thousands of pounds. Scientists have been stumped.
Then along comes a normal guy - a retired construction worker - and he says well, I would do it like this. And he does. This guy uses the simplest tools known to man and shows how simple and easy it would have been to create Stonehenge .

This is a really great video clip. Amazing how this guy could figure out something that has confounded scholars for centuries. And not only figures it out, but demonstrates it!

This guy could build a replica of Stonehenge single-handedly, while a committee of 20 or 30 Civil Engineering professors from leading universities would be debating how it might be done.
“ Stonehenge Reloaded”. You have got to see this....

What it proves to is the man use of math and knowledge was not only the monks in the Middle Ages in Europe was not in the Dark Ages. With the use of a gravity and the same principles that moves a teeter totter, he makes the raising of the stones of Stonehedge in a practical manner. Great video and application of math and engineering to do the project.

What it also does is hold to the one principle that allot of folks have forgotten and that's "Keep it simple, stupid."
