Fascinating! I hope I will get to watch you test it...from my "armchair". Sadly that is the closest I will get. But thankyou guys all so much for making that possible. God bless😘🇬🇧🤘
All your reconstructions at moving stones are attempted during summer. The stones were probably moved during winter on tracks repeatedly flooded with water deliberately to make an ice road. The stones could then be dragged along at some speed.
It is amazing that they may have used such sophisticated wooden frames to move the stones so that they could built a structure to make astronomical observations and yet their hammers were huge pieces of log. Come on people.
So you figured out how they were able to move such heavy stones around (maybe). Now for the $64 question....how were they able to put them up on top of the upright stones? And for the bonus round....how were they able to stand THOSE stones up on end in the first place
Hi Julie. Excellent questions there. As with moving the vertical sarsens and bluestones, we don’t know how they achieved it. However, there are theories as to how the lintels were placed in position on top of the upright stones. The most enduring theory is that a wooden platform with a simple but strong lattice structure was built underneath the lintel one layer at a time. The lintel would be raised at one end using levers and a log placed underneath it to raise it up. The end would be lowered down and then the other end raised and another log placed underneath until the desired height was reached. Perhaps this could be the focus for a future experiment at Stonehenge?
Here's a very simple solution. The stones in Stonehenge were already in the immediate area and all they had to do was use manpower and very primitive technology to manipulate the stones in the way they are seen today.
The bluestones which form the inner circle at Stonehenge have been identified as coming from the Preseli hills of West Wales. Prof Mike Parker Pearson has recently published research claiming that he has identified the exact outcrop at Carn Goedog which is the source of the spotted dolerite stones. Another outcrop at Craig Rhos-y-felin was identified as the source of one of the types of rhyolite - another type of igneous rock - found at Stonehenge. The origin of the larger sarsen stones is unknown. There are some natural sarsens in the area, such as the Cuckoo Stone close to Woodhenge, so they may have been available in the surrounding landscape. However, researchers from the University of Bournemouth are investigating this subject at the moment so we may have to revise our opinion if they are able to prove that the sarsens came from much further afield.
Anyone that has played Dawn of Man knows you need 6 wood and 2 leather to build a sled. As for moving it expect about a third of your population to either starve or freeze to death before they make it back to the village. :)

Primitive technology is still just that...technology. We forget that our ancestors were big brained humans just like us. God bless human ingenuity.
Lots of hard work and looks fantastic however, I'd like to see the process used to load that stone onto that sled. Hopefully in the next video.
I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this! Well done 👍

Interesting! I've always wondered how the stones were moved at Stonehenge

Amazing 😍

i would really love to endeavor into experimental archeology one day.
Good to see this person doing something quite amazing.
Time Team would have made a great special of this.
It was aliens👽 Sorry... I had to. I got the first comment 😉 Cool video!🤓❤️
Wow 😍
Watch videos of the guy moving his house with pebbles and you'll know how they moved these stones

Some of the stones are from Pembrokeshire, & some from the Marlborough Downs.

More logical to do it during winter when you can litterally use a sleight. Thats probably what they did back in the days.
I know what you are doing but please use back braces. We don't want any back boo boos. Will be looking forward to see how it goes.

:)
Fascinating! I can hardly wait for more! BUT THE BACKGROUND MUSIC IN THE VIDEO! TOO MUCH, TOO LOUD! I'M SHOUTING SO YOU CAN HEAR ME OVER THE MUSIC!
