Thanks, a good idea bat.
Since first seing this I've often wondered if the bluestones from Carn Meini weren't manoevered down the "stone river" to the south in same way. Managed to get to the bottom end of this for the first time earlier this year, with Pab and Landsker_man. It's normally impossible due to the bog surrounding it. We found at least one stone there that appeared to have been shaped and then left after being broken in transit.

Just a bump to bring this thread back for newcomers. We had a recent Anonymous poster send this link in again.

Stonehenge Mystery Solved

A small group of men could have built Stonehenge. No need for anti-gravity or alien help. Never underestimate our ancestors. Having said that moving the stones from their quarry homes may have been a little more difficult.

This clip is the longest and most detailed that I've seen. (I love it.) We had a much shorter one posted - but it was some time back.

I seem to remember someone who claimed to be able do something similar, possibly in the Bahamas, and was used as an example of "unknown powers" by one of the "New Age" authors. If I remember correctly, he built his house from megaliths.

"I especially liked the "walking" of a stone," .
Probably how they walked the Easter Island statues. So SH did not need Egyptian scale football crowds, but a couple of off-duty shepherds with a hobby.

I thought we might have but an internal Google search on his name didn't bring anything up

We've seen this on the Portal before, but it's worth a new look once in a while. I wonder if he'll ever finish his Stonehenge or leave it at a trilithon. His is one of the most popular posts over at Clonehenge.

Absolutely superb Andy!!!
I especially liked the "walking" of a stone, something anyone moving a fridgefreezer does. I would assume that larger stones were used as a base, small stones would sink into the earth, which then conjures up visions of megaliths being "floated" across the countryside. Serious magic.
As the HOW has now been explained, maybe the publicly-funded archaeologists could now explain the WHY.

Thanks to Mark Beedle for this link:

Wally Wallington has demonstrated that he can lift a Stonehenge-sized pillar weighing 22,000 lbs and moved a barn over 300 ft. What makes this so special is that he does it using only himself, gravity, and his incredible ingenuity.

For hundreds, maybe thousands of years, people have been
trying to figure out how primitive people could build huge
structures such as Stonehenge and the pyramids out of stone
blocks weighing thousands of pounds. Scientists have been
stumped.

Then along comes a normal guy - a retired construction
worker - and he says well, I would do it like this. And he
does. This guy uses the simplest tools known to man and
shows how simple and easy it would have been to create
Stonehenge
