Never heard this one. Has he elaborated on this? Very fascinating!

Sorry to spoil the party but this guy, Wally T. Wallington, has figured out how to move extremely large and heavy objects by himself without wheels, pulleys, machinery, or any modern equipment. Just using gravity, counterweights, and simple lever principles he is able to move an entire barn by himself. Truly ingenious and amazing. He is just a simple carpenter.

You may not accept that this is how the Coral Castle, the Pyramids, or Stonehenge were built but to say it is impossible without some mysterious technology is simply not true.

Here is the evidence:

"I have discovered the secrets of the pyramids," he may have been referring to the latter.

Archimedes, the great Greek engineer, mathematician, physicist, and generally incredible scientist of ancient times (200 BC) once said that given a long enough lever and a place to stand he could move the world.

Excellent job Astroboy! Good vid too! Wally makes that look simple. I am forwarding that video to a history professor I know.

Thanks, Seth.

All history teachers should look at this guys work to get a good idea of the possible explanations of how many ancient builders accomplished their work.

I find it very compelling that the demostration he uses of pulling a large concrete block up a ramp using his own body as a counterweight on an opposite ramp also supports a current theory of why the long narrow Grand Gallery at the Great Pyramid was built. Some scholars believe this chamber was used to haul up the massive blocks of stone that support the King's chamber.

I hate to repeat myself but ancient people were a lot smarter than modern folks give them credit for. I'm sure that if a simple carpenter could figure this out the ancients did too.

I sometimes hear that ancients did things with large stones that we are not capable of today. Well, this is ridiculous. There is simply no practical reason why anyone needs to use a single piece of stone that weights 100 tons to build anything. We're able to build far larger and taller structures than the ancients could've dreamed of.

Hmm, a little contradictory.

The host says that no one has figured out how the Coral Castle was built and suggests the lame levitation theory again. Yet, in the last 30 seconds the video clearly shows photos of the builder with a chain and pulley rig. WTF?

Argh!!!

As a moderator you should deduct and star from your profile and go sit in the corner for an hour for posting a video you didn't watch.

Why? Even if there was cussing in the vid, that's not against the rules. Nothing against the rules for posting contradictions either.

I did watch a little bit of it, just not a lot. I should have said, I didn't watch the vid in it's entirety.

Does anyone have a video explaining how one finds the perfect center of gravity in a 10 ton asymmetrical stone, fashioning it into a revolving door that a child can swing open?

Perhaps this is easy as pie, I dunno I'm not an engineer. But something tells me it might be rather difficult with pulleys, logs and ropes.
