Christ-on-a-bike, was it really June 2005 we did that?!

"Jane Tomlinson,who assisted in the stone rowing demonstration said: 'It was thrilling to recreate a technique that our neolithic ancestors may well have used to move the stones. To feel the stone float on its levers and travel so easily uphill was a revelation.' "

So simple. I really do think that all this nonsense about ancient astronauts and such is really just a projection of our modern mind's struggle to visualize patient, low-tech methodology.

There was no need for supernatural or extraterrestrial help in the building of the monuments of old.. the builders simply used the most energy efficient means (in some part driven and spawned from the realities of the ancient world's engineering limitations).

good flick, makes u wonder what rocking/logan stones were for.

Neat to finally see Wally at work. I never did spring for his video, assuming he must have had a reasonable method or he wouldn't be offering tapes.

Gravity is our friend.
