    Interesting. It certainly stands to reason that the way he did that could have just as easy worked thousands of years ago.

    Cool. Things to do when retired.

    If they did erect the stones that way, I would think they would have used human weight to do that see-saw effect. Would be faster, but not as safe. I wonder if this technique was used on the pyramids?

    He's obviously an alien. Possibly Wilford Brimley back from his coccoon.

    I recall seeing a bit about this guy on either the History Channel or Nat. Geo. Channel not too terribly long ago. He def knows his stuff that's for sure.

    More astonishing (IMO) is Coral Castle in FL:

    I've seen short tv clips on that, it's absolutely incredible. I often wonder at his quote below, if it was one of those "oh, well I'll be damned!" moments when he figured it out;

    "I have discovered the secrets of the pyramids, and have found out how the Egyptians and the ancient builders in Peru, Yucatan, and Asia, with only primitive tools, raised and set in place blocks of stone weighing many tons!"
