    This is exactly what I've been looking for! Knew I wasn't the only one with the idea of lever walking.
    1. Add weights to the levers to reduce needed effort.
    2. Increase lever length...a lot.
    3. No one said the levers had to be straight. Make them jag down at the end and then you don't need scaffolding, or as much scaffolding.
    4. Or use ropes to pull the levers.
    5. Tie a beam or ropes of the same length at the ends of the levers on each side to make sure they move more or less in sync.
    6. Use oxen to pull the levers forward.

    I think the Indonesians had it figured correctly. I have seen videos of people attempting the rope-n-roll method INCORRECTLY, with the "one two three PULL" technique, in which almost all the crowd's effort went into taking up the slack and stretching the ropes, then jerking the stone a short distance and relaxing again. The Indonesians did a long sustained pull, which is much more efficient, keeping the ropes stretched and using the stone's momentum instead of losing it again with each short tug.

      Yep, Wally is the GOAT :)
      imo - He came up with the best (and simplest) methods for moving weight.
      Though I think; Stonehenge was partly a communal project. So it was important to use many people. It helped unify (or just keep peace between) various tribes, by completing projects like this together (sharing and combining resources too).
      I'm sure the ancients, like Wally, understood how powerful gravity was (even if they didn't 'define' it as gravity :)
      And also knowledge of the elements (like water and earth) and how to combine them to move weight.
      All these skills combined, could move mountains ..things the 'modern' world forgot with the onset of the industrial revolution (but 'hints' of it are still in cultures around the world).

    That part of the world has lots of ice in the winter. And moved on a sled or just dragged on the ice. Once moving it would travel under inertia. Ice works in theory for razing and setting it in place too. Just pile snow and water into a ramp. Also think that is how they mite have worked the stones on Easter Island.

    There is a much simpler way to get the stones on top. Once the upright stones where in place they then cover the whole site in a big mound (plenty of their burial mounds still exist so we know they new how to do this well) pull the stones to the top and assemble them in the right place using markers. Then remove the earth from under the stones wooden blocks maybe shaped like wedges would hold the top stones just off the upright stones so the earth could be dug out from under them. Then the wooden blocks/wedges are removed so the stones would drop into place. This were the tongue n grooves on the end of the stones and the ball n sockets under them (which nobody seems to want to explain) come into play. The tongue n grooves would prevent the stones from moving out of place when the blocks are removed and the ball n sockets would finally lock them into exact place. Then finally remove the mound so all well within the technology we know they had

      @josiahjack455 4 роки тому

      This is actually the best way (fastest, least manpower). This can be improved by adding baskets with stones to the ends of the levers to reduce the effort required to only 1-2 people per lever. Lever walking at that rate is much faster than rollers. With no evidence of a level well paved road, we can rule out rolling. I've moved machinery in my job using hydraulicly powered dolly and rollers to move machines that "only" weighed 30 tons. Even the 10 ton machines at the slightest crack in the concrete floor between poured sections gave us trouble where the rollers would get stuck and we'd have to lift the machine on jacks, then reposition the rollers to the other side of cracks. And that was a level floor and took 4 people 6hrs just to move 300 ft. With lever walking, the fulcrums can be adjusted to match the slope of the ground, the block doesn't have to stay level but could tilt as much as the friction would allow. The levers can also compensate for a few feet in variation of the ground and still be useable.

      Josiah Jack, I am sorry for my inadequate English. Who moved the stones all the way from Wales? No human at all, but the glaciers. During the last 2.6 million years, there has been at least 30 periods of glaciers. Glaciers create tremendous power. I know the TV-program "Drain the Ocean." Is it possible to drain the soil all the way down to the bed rock? If so, what do we find? My guess: A large number of stones similar to those in Stonehenge, at the site, or nearby.

    You don't need to overcomplicate things, simply stand the stone up and assemble four teams of people, four ropes are tied at the top with a rope for each side, the teams front and back control the tilt while the side teams rock the standing stone side to side and walk it. Covering twenty miles like that would be loads easier than with any of these complicated lever systems people come up with. On a much smaller scale it's the same basic physics that have allowed me to move furniture and stuff around on my own, things that would take 3 or 4 people to move if they where lying down. The height of the stones is all the leverage you need, with a few people it wouldn't even seem that heavy.

      It seems that this is how the Easter Islanders moved their Moai statutes - based on a combination of the old legends that the stones walked into place combined with modern experimental archaeology. So you may well be right. But the key lesson is surely that there were many techniques that would have worked, so we don't need to rely crackpot theories that involve extra-terrestrials. We may never know which of the options they actually used, but we can be confident they could have done it with the technologies at their command. The same can be said for the pyramids and other structures. You can do a lot with wood, rope, gravity, stones, sand and a bit of ingenuity...

      this is very much a misleading comment.

However the stones were indeed erected in ancient times, and the restoration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were moving stones back where they used to be. there are drawings of stone henge from medieval times showing the erected stones, and written descriptions of them from even earlier.

      Did you not watch the whole video? Check what starts at 5:30. They develop a system and add more people. They reach a pace where they could move the stone 20 miles in 3 months with one team of 30 people. Towards the end of the video they also demonstrate how the stone would be raised in a similar way, to sit on top of the vertical supports.

Yes, they were moved somehow, but dont tell me there was a Metholithic Survey team that knew math, that had not been created yet, back then...

      So you don't think they would rough shape the stone at the quarry? That they would move it all the way to stonehenge then shape it? As for the landscape I honestly believe they moved the stones in the winter, hard ground and maybe easier to slide the stones, then erected them in the spring , summer and fall.

Also experts say they were not able to use the Nile river to move this much weight. The Nile river could have only been used to move the 15 to 30 ton stones

A glaciers create tremendous power. During the last 2.6 million years there has been at least 30 periods of glaciers.
