- Ancient civilizations employed various methods to move large boulders without modern machinery:
1. **Sleds and Water**: Egyptians used sleds to pull stones through the sand, reducing friction by pouring water in front of the sled[2][5].
2. **Log Rollers**: At Stonehenge, stones were likely moved on wooden sledges sliding on log tracks, possibly greased with lard[2][3].
3. **Animal Power**: Oxen and other animals were sometimes used to pull heavy loads[3].
4. **Human Labor**: Large groups of people coordinated to move stones using ropes and manpower[1][4].
5. **Boats and Canals**: Egyptians transported stones via the Nile using specially constructed boats and canals[5].
For a small farmer, practical suggestions include:
1. Using a lever and fulcrum to lift and move the boulder.
2. Employing a simple wooden sled to drag the boulder.
3. Utilizing log rollers to roll the boulder over a distance.
4. Enlisting the help of animals like oxen or horses to pull the boulder.
5. Using a winch and pulley system to gradually move the boulder.

Las civilizaciones antiguas empleaban varios métodos para mover grandes rocas sin maquinaria moderna:
1. **Trineos y agua**: los egipcios usaban trineos para arrastrar piedras a través de la arena, reduciendo la fricción al verter agua frente al trineo[2][5].
2. **Rodillos para troncos**: en Stonehenge, es probable que las piedras se movieran en trineos de madera que se deslizaban sobre pistas de troncos, posiblemente engrasadas con manteca de cerdo[2][3].
3. **Fuerza animal**: a veces se usaban bueyes y otros animales para tirar de cargas pesadas[3].
4. **Trabajo humano**: grandes grupos de personas se coordinaban para mover piedras usando cuerdas y fuerza humana[1][4].
5. **Barcos y canales**: los egipcios transportaban piedras a través del Nilo usando barcos y canales especialmente construidos[5].
Para un pequeño agricultor, las sugerencias prácticas incluyen:
1. Usar una palanca y un punto de apoyo para levantar y mover la roca.
2. Emplear un trineo de madera simple para arrastrar la roca.
3. Utilizar rodillos para hacer rodar la roca a lo largo de una distancia determinada.
4. Contar con la ayuda de animales como bueyes o caballos para tirar de la roca.
5. Utilizar un sistema de cabrestante y polea para mover gradualmente la roca.

It is at times like this that you learn to appreciate the efforts of the road builders in the past. 😊
One more piece of the puzzle. Thanks for sharing.
My goodness! Another boulder. The things I miss in videos.
Thank you for spotting Edith and Zach at the beginning and end of the canal. That was a great way to "see" the straight line path.
When you get to digging the canal, remember that you only need about 30mm of drop for every 4 meters of run.
This is a huge improvement for water infiltration on the western farm. ♥
While you are working in this area, is it possible to dig a similar canal that would run to the east? 👍
@@stevejohnstonbaugh9171 East is solid rock and uphill. No chance what so ever. Sorry Steve.
@@SuerteDelMolinoFarm Can't fault a guy for trying! 😂
I appreciate your feedback 👍
Someone should write a history from the boulder's perspective. ❤❤❤
I can imagine you having wonderfull water designs and features helping to create magnificient gardens, mourish style .. and just creating magnificient gardens without complicated and expensive water features, in a more nowdays eco design. Or a mix of both... anyway, you seem to be having fun, and thats whats important.
@@srantoniomatos Yes. I'm having fun. Keep sharing. Much appreciated
Soil pipe work is always laid with a fall of 18mm/m, this ensures the ‘soil’ doesn’t move too fast or too slow thus avoiding blockages from solids.
@@Rating64 Super valuable information. Thanks for sharing
Try putting some round post or logs under the front edge to stop the boulder digging into the slope. You might have to dig a little to insert the first pole. Best of luck .
@@stephenmoss9842 Thank you. Sounds like a plan.
Its worked for me .👍
Its probably at times like this, where you wish you had a hydraulic jackhammer to fit on the giraffe 🙂 (or that Edith had eaten a bit more spinach before pushing the rock). Joking aside, those 2 boulders must weigh a couple of tons each, impressive feat to move those like you have. Take care.
@@BrianJensen-ym5gk Spinach not my favourite. Ha ha. Thank you for sharing
try using levers?
Hi. Does anyone know why the Australian channel by the name Polyculture Farm (of Ari is) down? Is there any way to reach him?
@@rajsinghji-84 Look in the fridges Raj
@@SuerteDelMolinoFarm I searched online. He has shut down his channel for reason unknown. Many of his subs have commented on his FB page about it.
