Another mystery bites the dust


News Item:
Man rebuilding Stonehenge, by himself

We always marvel at the ancient wonders of the world, the Pyramids, Stonehenge, Easter Island, and we always ask the question "How'd they do that?" Books are written and documentaries are made, all seeking an explanation. Most provide theories, then contradict themselves in the end by asserting even modern day technology and heavy equipment couldn't move boulders of this size. Well a retired construction worker named Wally Wallington says that's bunk, and anybody could do it.

Proof of discoveries like this are expected to come from well funded expeditions or archeological digs, not a YouTube video filmed in some guy's back yard, but that's what Wally has done. He not only claims that the ancients could build places like Stonehenge with the simplest of tools, but actually shows how just one man could do it, working alone. He's building his own replica of Stonehenge, using pebbles and blocks of wood. The video is linked below.
