Stone Henge is older then pyramids they had maths but probably not to the level of the Egyptians or Greeks. There was also trial and error. They would work out that they can more heavy thing on roller or seaweed (possible technique on other hedges in Scotland). They go a basic idea of leverage, pulleys, etc. It really doesn't need to be a lot of equations to figure this stuff out.
@@paulthomas8262 On Orkney, they already had almost no trees to use as rollers. They also had a modest size of population. And only footpaths. But they were people who worked with their hands since toddlerhood, experts with stone for centuries, and who memorized everything. If you ever speak with someone older who has been blind since birth or childhood, or a person who is wholly illiterate (either no schooling or very dyslexic) the organizational power of their memories is fantastic - relentless! - as is their ability to retain very long sequences in perfect order.

This is an excellent demonstration of how ancient people could have moved large stone blocks around. One caveat, though: Stonehenge was built during the Neolithic period, when people didn't yet know about bronze, much less iron or steel.

It's really refreshing to read the comments on a video like this and NOT see comment after comment explaining to everybody how he's doing everything "wrong".
The actual problem is that historians cant give any accurate number of how many men such a project needed, and for how long. But this has a big impact on other historical events, the structure of society, royal succession and state finances. .. because they dont have a measure how hard the engineering and required manpower was.
My father was a mechanical engineer and physicist. He was doing proof of concept experiments around our property all the time. Nothing was as large as this. However, we did get to travel to Stone Henge in 1980. Our "10 to 15 minutes" of time inside after regular hours turned into a 2-1/2 hour personalized tour with one of the guards. The anecdotal stories of his 20+ years at the site were fascinating and comical. Miss you Dad.
@@joker7301there are bits of tools and hieroglyphs that show how the stone was cut. People didn't stop cutting and moving massive stones with simple tools. Copper plate or rope that's dragged over a slurry of water and sand or quarry dust can make clean cuts. Copper can be alloyed with arsenic or manganese to make it hard enough to work any stone. An individual metalsmith could make tooling that masons stuck to wooden stakes with resin to make cutting and engraving tools. The final precision of blocks was almost certainly done by rubbing smaller stones of the same material together until they got a flat face, and then using those to finish polish face stones, both on their joints and their presented face. The nubs could be used as fulcrums, points to reference to a model/plan, and also as supports for ramps or ladders.
Wally... i want to know what you know. Sounds weird, but thats the best compliment i can tjink of. You are the example i show along with Coral Castle when folks start talking about ancient aliens and humam ability. Thank You, you beautiful creature you.
What's that doc called, "How He Did It"? These two modern day magi have kept me amazed and hungry for knowledge for over 10 years that I've known about their methods. If I just had free time, I'd be doing the same things.
Fair play to this guy, Respect earned ✅, many out there have there own theories of how such monuments were made but hes going a step beyond and just showing how it could of been done, remember hes one man, they could of had thousands of people when building such monuments 👏
he is certainly very intelligent and creative and his methods are amazing to see. now move a 2.5 million pound stone (like the ones at Baalbek) and move it 500 miles on unpaved roads and over a mountain range.
You mention of 3-4-5 method that is the Pythagoras theorem but Pythagoras came 500 BC so the Egyptian’s must’ve known about this formula along with the Stonehenge erectors in someway? any thoughts anyone? Beautiful demonstration thank you
I recall recently watching a vid that showed Babylonian inscriptions describing what we now call Pythagorian processes, so evidently the processes he was employing became ascribed to him. In a similar way, Newton did not invent gravity and the laws of motion - he "just" described them. A handy thing for those not schooled in physics - but the actions described were not entirely unknown - people worked with what they knew without knowing the whyfor.
@veny9213 He must not have worked with over 100,000 people for 20 years on a single project. Entire stone cities are found in several countries, in Africa, America, Asia and Europe. All with manual labor and no roads. All with many tons of stone. They are just not talked about as much because there is no propaganda work involving mystery and mainly elevating these constructions as superhuman. They have already lost their position as the highest, there are several entire stone cities that, because they are very old, also have their construction dates estimated at similar dates. They are also not the longest, as there are much larger stone cities, not to mention some castles and the 21,000 km Great Wall of China. As for internal space, mentioning Giza, as it is the largest and generally the only one cited, as crooked pyramids are forgotten for some "mysterious" reason, it has approximately 250 square meters of internal space. Ridiculous! Small gaps that help with support because almost its entire area is stone on stone, avoiding the most difficult point of the construction, not even arches are necessary, and as facilitating as this is the fact that it always has the upper level lower than the level lower. Larger cobblestones make up a square supporting smaller cobblestones making up a smaller square. We cannot deny that it is one of the largest buildings in the world, that the location made it difficult to build, that it is a beautiful and curious design, but they are not "the best" or "the biggest" in the world and much less impossible to build.
They used an internal ramp for the pyramid not one giant one or super steep one to the top. Look up Jean-Pierre houdin. He lays out the whole building process in detail and I think he pretty much nails it
You cant build anything with these contraptions though. Yeah you can move some semi heavy rocks a SHORT distance. How do you load onto the contraptions? How do you remove and place the rocks after its moved? How did the rocks get there? Where are the remnants of the contraptions or at least the evidence they were there and used? He has concrete and rebar, modern tools etc. No one built anything using these methods back in the day it just doesn't actually work on a construction project. Its one thing to have a 20 foot long section in your yard and the boulder is already on the contraptions when he demonstrates them. Lets see how he loads it and unloads it, or better yet, build a mini pyramid using JUST his contraptions and he wont be able to.
The "Egyptian hoist" angles match the gallery on the Great Pyramid. The gallery was used for counterweights to hoist the building blocks up the pyramid. Edit The gallery has a ledge for a sled to carry rhe counterweights. Archeologists have found grease on the ledge that lubricated the sled.
How can you cut granite inside a cave, precisely, hollow it out, perfectly with square dimensions as in the great Pyramid of Giza, or Allora caves in India!
I dare you to suggest that to an archeologist, and see how you're arrogantly dismissed and mocked. Literally any deviation from their hypotheses is enough to trigger an attack. They "know" that the old kingdom Egyptians didn't have lathes, wheels, or pulleys. Every feature of the great pyramid can be explained via levers, copper tools, and sand abrasives according to them. You'll probably even be labeled a racist.
Its a mystery that definitely wont need advanced technology. Pretty sure that pulleys, lot of manpower and knowledge like this guy has can solve the mystery.
@@Spectre4913 "The heaviest stone moved by man, starting out at 2000 tonnes and was carved down to 1500 while being moved. Now down to 1250 tonnes as it serves as the pedestal for the statue of Peter The great called the Bronze Horseman. Pulled from marshy ground in 1768 by Russian workers under the command of a Greek Lieutenant - Colonel in the Russian army - moved the stone 150 meters a day. It took nearly nine months to move the massive stone the 6 km. to the Gulf of Finland. To this day it remains the largest stone moved by man, with the 6 km it was moved, done completely with man power. No machinery or animal labour was used to move the stone."
This is a poor argument. Wood does not disintegrate when it is compressed. Compression makes it more dense. These pieces of wood were likely used in this manner repeatedly, creating wood pieces with a much higher density than standard.
@@veny9213 The most reliable estimates work with between 50,000 and 100,000 men working for decades. The biggest difficulty is having this workforce to build your tomb in the desert. Other than that, they are overrated due to the mysticism involved. Pretend there are no pyramids that have already collapsed and no crooked pyramids. Look at their sculptures. Where is the super talent?? They are below any Greek or Italian master. In fact, even today's masters produce works with superior quality, much more detail and infinitely more symmetrical. The most admirable thing is how to have so many people working for so long in the desert for a single project. Other than that, very overrated due to the mysteries and mysticism involved.
@@veny9213 No, you're the one who doesn't understand. What did I invent?? Look at any of their sculptures and explain to me where their superhuman talent lies. They end up being poorly made. even disproportionate. Also explain how the supreme work is not the best at all.
@@RCV_RCV Look at any of their sculptures, and you will find that they are made symmetrically to the millimeter. Ramzes? 600 toone ,symmetrically to the millimeter.😉
@@TheJonnyzeus it seems to me that all that this guy has done is to prove that the pyramid builders could pour concrete blocks to precise measurements.
fun fact, a rope of the the length of the side of the block with it's ends drawn tight will be the exact shape of the necessary arched road when the ends are brought together enough to lower the middle of the rope to the height of the difference in diagonla vs perpendicular radius! I'm really glad to see I'm not the only one who thought of a catenary arch road for moving large stone blocks!
@martinhenzl ???? If it's not on perfectly flat ground how do you stop it???? I'm confused. That's like asking how to stop a horse-drawn cart on not perfectly flat ground, you just stop it. If anything, it'd be EASIER to stop on a non perfectly flat road on account of all the imperfections adding friction to the system. If you have the manpower to haul multi ton blocks, you have the manpower to make your road slightly flatter for easier transportation.
@@tjpprojects7192 I meant - if you get it moving, how do you stop it after? Such a heavy stone with that momentum... And going up any slight hill you'd need to hold it all the time, instead of just making one step and resting a bit, ...

It's really refreshing to read the comments on a video like this and NOT see comment after comment explaining to everybody how he's doing everything "wrong".
the overlap between people who say "we could never do that" and people who have done very little themselves is incredible.
Intelligence > Ancient aliens
But ancient aliens had anti-gravity beams 😉
Straw man argument = pathetic
@@jacqdanielesIf they did then the great pyramids would be an pitiful display of the true capabilities of anti gravity tech.
Mr. Wally you are a force of nature all by yourself, thank you for sharing these amazing techniques… fascinating to watch.. I’m here: )
Historians: "Men couldn't do it!"
Engineer: "You don't know shit".
Except for accuracy you need to delete "Historians" and insert "Alienwannabelievists"
Historians don't say that. Armchair pseudohistorians do, though, as with 'History' Channel.
The actual problem is that historians cant give any accurate number of how many men such a project needed, and for how long. But this has a big impact on other historical events, the structure of society, royal succession and state finances. .. because they dont have a measure how hard the engineering and required manpower was.
Спасибо. Это было очень круто увидеть технологии в деле, а не рассуждения с картинками.
Ha! Fantastic! Ancient alien smackdown! Well done and thank you for your amazing contribution to us all.
Ya know how a lot of unfinished ancient stones have nubs protruding out the sides? I wonder the they were fulcrum points carved at the quarry site.
Genius! Awesome! But I'm wondering how you could do this on desert sand instead of a hard cement surface.
Good job! You could keep this knowledge to yourself, but you wanted to share it with us. I was very surprised by you.
Well done! Looks like I'm about to watch all your videos
Excellent .....................pure engineering and great thought process .
I would love to know how you are cutting your rocks. Please!!!! I love your work so much. Please make more videos.
Imagine just looking outside and seeing your neighbor doing this. Lmao.
Imagine Wally in Medievil times building castle walls using hugeeee blocks of stone...
Alone!😁
My father was a mechanical engineer and physicist. He was doing proof of concept experiments around our property all the time. Nothing was as large as this. However, we did get to travel to Stone Henge in 1980. Our "10 to 15 minutes" of time inside after regular hours turned into a 2-1/2 hour personalized tour with one of the guards. The anecdotal stories of his 20+ years at the site were fascinating and comical. Miss you Dad.
Cool grandpa man. My g/p from Mi too. I have used some of Wally's ways in my building. Balance is cool. Thanks for the vids. Nice job.
Sure beats all the insane theories we read, he just went to work.
No. Ancient monuments were certainly not built this way.
Maybe that’s what those nubs are that stick out from the blocks that the ancient megalithic sites are built from, fulcrum points?.
That may explain all the nubs on all the megalithic blocks all over the world.
I was thinking that too
But it still does not explain how they cut the Stones so accurately
Time and water
My thoughts also as soon as it was shown
@@joker7301there are bits of tools and hieroglyphs that show how the stone was cut. People didn't stop cutting and moving massive stones with simple tools.
Copper plate or rope that's dragged over a slurry of water and sand or quarry dust can make clean cuts. Copper can be alloyed with arsenic or manganese to make it hard enough to work any stone. An individual metalsmith could make tooling that masons stuck to wooden stakes with resin to make cutting and engraving tools.
The final precision of blocks was almost certainly done by rubbing smaller stones of the same material together until they got a flat face, and then using those to finish polish face stones, both on their joints and their presented face.
The nubs could be used as fulcrums, points to reference to a model/plan, and also as supports for ramps or ladders.
One of my top ten videos on TH-cam….total geek
He didn’t mention aliens at all . If he did he’d be rich by now .
Great! Thank you for sharing!
Even if he is wrong... this is amazing...
Wally... i want to know what you know. Sounds weird, but thats the best compliment i can tjink of. You are the example i show along with Coral Castle when folks start talking about ancient aliens and humam ability.
Thank You, you beautiful creature you.
What's that doc called, "How He Did It"? These two modern day magi have kept me amazed and hungry for knowledge for over 10 years that I've known about their methods. If I just had free time, I'd be doing the same things.
Fair play to this guy, Respect earned ✅, many out there have there own theories of how such monuments were made but hes going a step beyond and just showing how it could of been done, remember hes one man, they could of had thousands of people when building such monuments 👏
Great demonstration Wal'.
There'll alway be a cold beer waiting for you here.
he is certainly very intelligent and creative and his methods are amazing to see. now move a 2.5 million pound stone (like the ones at Baalbek) and move it 500 miles on unpaved roads and over a mountain range.
You mention of 3-4-5 method that is the Pythagoras theorem but Pythagoras came 500 BC so the Egyptian’s must’ve known about this formula along with the Stonehenge erectors in someway? any thoughts anyone? Beautiful demonstration thank you
I recall recently watching a vid that showed Babylonian inscriptions describing what we now call Pythagorian processes, so evidently the processes he was employing became ascribed to him. In a similar way, Newton did not invent gravity and the laws of motion - he "just" described them. A handy thing for those not schooled in physics - but the actions described were not entirely unknown - people worked with what they knew without knowing the whyfor.
@History channel give this man a program ASAP!!!
Is the DVD still available?
All the videos posted on this channel with from the original dvd
I did masonry work for many decades we moved giant stones rocks the way he’s doing it here. Sometimes on scaffolds where forklifts couldn’t work.
800 kilometers without roads? Up to an altitude of up to 4000m like in Puma Punk?
@veny9213 He must not have worked with over 100,000 people for 20 years on a single project. Entire stone cities are found in several countries, in Africa, America, Asia and Europe. All with manual labor and no roads. All with many tons of stone. They are just not talked about as much because there is no propaganda work involving mystery and mainly elevating these constructions as superhuman. They have already lost their position as the highest, there are several entire stone cities that, because they are very old, also have their construction dates estimated at similar dates. They are also not the longest, as there are much larger stone cities, not to mention some castles and the 21,000 km Great Wall of China. As for internal space, mentioning Giza, as it is the largest and generally the only one cited, as crooked pyramids are forgotten for some "mysterious" reason, it has approximately 250 square meters of internal space. Ridiculous! Small gaps that help with support because almost its entire area is stone on stone, avoiding the most difficult point of the construction, not even arches are necessary, and as facilitating as this is the fact that it always has the upper level lower than the level lower. Larger cobblestones make up a square supporting smaller cobblestones making up a smaller square. We cannot deny that it is one of the largest buildings in the world, that the location made it difficult to build, that it is a beautiful and curious design, but they are not "the best" or "the biggest" in the world and much less impossible to build.
How long is that 26 degree ramp to get stones to the top of the pyramid?
My guess is they didnt ramp it all the way to the top, but they just ramped up from the outside of the pyramid all the way around it.
You don't have to pull it all they way up in one go. It is possible to tie it off and walk back up the ramp.
They used an internal ramp for the pyramid not one giant one or super steep one to the top. Look up Jean-Pierre houdin. He lays out the whole building process in detail and I think he pretty much nails it
I am amazed most with the set up allowing him to roll that stone block. Genius
2:57 - Would that be the #Knobs you see on Ancient #Megalithic Stone Building ? It looks like it.
Great vid
People show believe in ancient aliens have never done practical work and cannot comprehend themselves r anyone else doing it
You cant build anything with these contraptions though. Yeah you can move some semi heavy rocks a SHORT distance. How do you load onto the contraptions? How do you remove and place the rocks after its moved? How did the rocks get there? Where are the remnants of the contraptions or at least the evidence they were there and used? He has concrete and rebar, modern tools etc. No one built anything using these methods back in the day it just doesn't actually work on a construction project. Its one thing to have a 20 foot long section in your yard and the boulder is already on the contraptions when he demonstrates them. Lets see how he loads it and unloads it, or better yet, build a mini pyramid using JUST his contraptions and he wont be able to.

Don’t underestimate the creativity of mankind.
So...are the nubs on the peru blocks just fulcrum points then?
You'd need a solid level base to move them on. This wouldn't work on uneven soft ground. He's working off a concert pad he's put down first.
@@philiptegg4276you’re talking out of your ass
@@philiptegg4276so you pave a road first?
The "Egyptian hoist" angles match the gallery on the Great Pyramid. The gallery was used for counterweights to hoist the building blocks up the pyramid.
Edit
The gallery has a ledge for a sled to carry rhe counterweights. Archeologists have found grease on the ledge that lubricated the sled.
Dude’s just casually building the pyramids in his back yard. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have come up with a name for this style of moving blocks and we shall now call it the Wally Wallington Waddle.
wallington waddle sounds better
20,500 pounds ≈ 9,298 kilograms.
How's the pulley/ roller at the top of the 'Egyptian hoist' made?
It rolls very neatly.
Also, didn't the old kingdom Egyptians and neolithic hunter gatherers famously not have pulleys?
They had basic pulleys.
I wonder if the nubs on megaliths may have been fulcrums for moving them now.
Moving of Stones has been explained. But how did they cut it so precisely?
@@joker7301 they can be cut roughly, dimpled from striking, then rubbed with a flat rock and water to make an incredibly flat surface.
How can you cut granite inside a cave, precisely, hollow it out, perfectly with square dimensions as in the great Pyramid of Giza, or Allora caves in India!
I think people need to stop accepting the notion those who built the pyramid did not have the wheel or the technology to do so. OBVIOUSLY THEY DID.
With no wheel, they were obviously using hover chariots.
I dare you to suggest that to an archeologist, and see how you're arrogantly dismissed and mocked. Literally any deviation from their hypotheses is enough to trigger an attack. They "know" that the old kingdom Egyptians didn't have lathes, wheels, or pulleys. Every feature of the great pyramid can be explained via levers, copper tools, and sand abrasives according to them. You'll probably even be labeled a racist.
Bravo!!! Ingenious!! Just brilliant!!
The human spirit on full display. Good bless you Wally.
Faut le voir pour le croire!!!! Incroyable!! J'adore!!👍👍👍
Ok now try this with a 1000ton block. No one says they cant move or lift 10 tons. The mystery is the 1000 ton blocks placed 30 feet off the ground.
Exactly!
Its a mystery that definitely wont need advanced technology. Pretty sure that pulleys, lot of manpower and knowledge like this guy has can solve the mystery.
Russians moved 2000 ton block, if I am not mistaken, and it is well documented. There might be even pictures.
@pavel9652 I can find nothing relating to that. Do you have any more information? Timeframe, a town name, something.
@@Spectre4913 "The heaviest stone moved by man, starting out at 2000 tonnes and was carved down to 1500 while being moved. Now down to 1250 tonnes as it serves as the pedestal for the statue of Peter The great called the Bronze Horseman. Pulled from marshy ground in 1768 by Russian workers under the command of a Greek Lieutenant - Colonel in the Russian army - moved the stone 150 meters a day. It took nearly nine months to move the massive stone the 6 km. to the Gulf of Finland.
To this day it remains the largest stone moved by man, with the 6 km it was moved, done completely with man power. No machinery or animal labour was used to move the stone."
Thank god you documented this. Very very cool
Off the subject just a bit, beautiful house and property.
Video is interesting as heck, a LOT of thought (and work) went into proof of concept.
You should be nominated for the Nobel prize!
meh
Do you think that ancient stones that have built in protruding pivot points were used in a similar manner?
This is fascinating!
Whats the word used..."Fulcrument"?
What happens when the stone is so large and heavy that any form of wood construct is crushed under it's weight?
You add more wood ;) What is the compressive strength of wood?
Have you found a stone that large yet? Have you tried it?
You would have to use something else like dirt and smaller stones.
This is a poor argument. Wood does not disintegrate when it is compressed. Compression makes it more dense. These pieces of wood were likely used in this manner repeatedly, creating wood pieces with a much higher density than standard.
Who is to say our ancient ancestors were not genius inventors like this guy?
Cool. Now replicate any one of the Giza pyramids....
Just curious, how was your grandpa able to afford all this as a construction worker? Great video thanks!!
A guy did this. Now imagine what 2000 men could move!!
By the same. Certainly not 2000 tons without roads, like in Egypt
@@veny9213 The most reliable estimates work with between 50,000 and 100,000 men working for decades. The biggest difficulty is having this workforce to build your tomb in the desert. Other than that, they are overrated due to the mysticism involved. Pretend there are no pyramids that have already collapsed and no crooked pyramids. Look at their sculptures. Where is the super talent?? They are below any Greek or Italian master. In fact, even today's masters produce works with superior quality, much more detail and infinitely more symmetrical. The most admirable thing is how to have so many people working for so long in the desert for a single project. Other than that, very overrated due to the mysteries and mysticism involved.
@@RCV_RCV No, you don't understand at all, you're making up ideas.
@@veny9213 No, you're the one who doesn't understand. What did I invent?? Look at any of their sculptures and explain to me where their superhuman talent lies. They end up being poorly made. even disproportionate. Also explain how the supreme work is not the best at all.
@@RCV_RCV Look at any of their sculptures, and you will find that they are made symmetrically to the millimeter.
Ramzes? 600 toone ,symmetrically to the millimeter.😉
Amazing! Clever guy working out the problems as he goes along! Just like the ancient builders did!
@@TheJonnyzeus it seems to me that all that this guy has done is to prove that the pyramid builders could pour concrete blocks to precise measurements.
fun fact, a rope of the the length of the side of the block with it's ends drawn tight will be the exact shape of the necessary arched road when the ends are brought together enough to lower the middle of the rope to the height of the difference in diagonla vs perpendicular radius!
I'm really glad to see I'm not the only one who thought of a catenary arch road for moving large stone blocks!
He should build his own Stonehenge site and make it a tourist attraction
Girogio: "I don't care what Wally says, it's STILL aliens!"
Fantastic Work and Demonstration !!
Love it! Love the technique!
Instead of a road of semicircles, it also works to just wrap 4 semicircles around the block so the whole thing can be rolled on flat ground.
And if it is not perfectly flat ground, how do you stop it after?
@martinhenzl ???? If it's not on perfectly flat ground how do you stop it???? I'm confused. That's like asking how to stop a horse-drawn cart on not perfectly flat ground, you just stop it. If anything, it'd be EASIER to stop on a non perfectly flat road on account of all the imperfections adding friction to the system. If you have the manpower to haul multi ton blocks, you have the manpower to make your road slightly flatter for easier transportation.
@@tjpprojects7192 I meant - if you get it moving, how do you stop it after? Such a heavy stone with that momentum... And going up any slight hill you'd need to hold it all the time, instead of just making one step and resting a bit, ...
There are surely some reasons for making it this way, and maybe they could have done it both the ways (as you wrote it and as in the video), but I just see quite many problems with just this one round solution - applicable not only on large heavy objects.
