Would like to see his method for placing the cap stones.

Something I picked up from the commentary though. Do we know the people who built stonehenge didn't have pulley technology?

Interesting theory but I noticed a couple of things:

1) The blocks he "rolled" along the wooden platform were perfectly square, the stones at Stonehenge are not.

2) In order to pivot his blocks he placed them on a concrete pad. I suppose you could place a stone slab underneath them, but is that really worth the effort?

I noticed the concrete also, but then I thought "Maybe it's possible to use wooden rollers on thick planks provided the ground were firm enough?"

With the corrugated platform he rolled the stones along, perhaps deeper corrugations would help if the stone was of rectangular cross-section? (Also more hands to push/pull the stone over).
Shaftsbury
Wouldn't you have to have a high point placed exactly in the middle so that a rectangular stone would roll?

I think an easier solution would be to just use rollers, you should be able to use them to pivot your stone as well.

I think he's making things overly complicated.

In following my theory on science being brainwashing by The Devil, once again I point out that back in the time this was made, people didn't KNOW that they couldn't lift stones this big.

when millions of years ago aliens came on our planet they used it as an intergalactic board game. because the aliens were very very large the games were large too. stonehenge is just a pile of dominoes the aliens left. the pyramids were just pyramid mah jong. the easter island statues were chess pieces. lol original.gif original.gif

Makes more sense than some theories I've heard...

I'm pretty sure they didn't know what a hernia was either, but they learned real fast.
