However, Wally Wallington says he can do it -- http://www.theforgottentechnology.com/ And a video showing how Wally Wallington does it: http://www.exn.ca/news/video/exn2003...stonehenge.asx How so? From what was seen, Wally mostly likes to spin uniformly manufactured concrete blocks on top of other manufactured concrete blocks. Or did you view some premium Wally video? I'm not the only one: http://www.raygirvan.co.uk/apoth/2004_07_01_arc.html My dad used to put beer barrels (the old fashioned ones) on stillages (sloping racks, some 18" off the floor) with very little effort and no tools, just using the centre of gravity and the barrel's own pivoting ability. A technique I imagine is still widely used today. Thor Hierdal showed the same method was used in the raising of the stones in Easter Island in a subsequent book to Kon Tiki and an old carpenter I once met also said the same methods used above were used by the small gangs that quarried slate in North Wales.) What you do is tip the object as much as you can one way and put the largest object or wedge you can get underneath. Then you tip it the other way and do the same. Then back the other way. Obviously the higher you get it the more you can tip it. All you need to worry about is that you don't tip it past its centre of gravity. The old man I spoke to also told me when he was called up to the army the seargent, wanting to make their squad look small so that he could better intimidate them, asked the biggest lad there to pick up a boulder. After some effort the lad failed, so this man asked to have a go. Being scrawny he was belittled by all but having worked in a quarry he knew how to wrangle it so that the centre of gravity was right for lifting. And in a few minutes he raised it. Once you work it up your legs to your thighs you can lift what seem great weights. Actually in those days it was common for men to carry 2 cwt sacks. These days they only carry 1/4 that but no "technique" is used. -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |
