This is amazing! It sure explains Stonehenge and the Pyramids a little better.

Look out Griswolds; there's a new Wally World!

It's amazing how we tend to make things so much more complicated than they really have to be. Just think simple and the answer is probably staring you in the face, or perhaps even kicking you in the shin!

Great video. So, in theory, Stonehenge could have been completed by one man and a similar device? How does the top section get placed though?

He has the top section placed on a smaller set already but he doesn't say how he actually did it. I suppose that teeter totter system could go a lot higher than just 3 feet and then spin horizontally over until placed?

yes but you see he has a very strong light weigh, flat and smooth piece of board under what he is moving. Did those who built stone henge have that?

I am fairly certain that bronze-age humans were capable of cutting and shaping wood. A piece of oak lumber doesn't seem too far-fetched for the era.
