Dude Figures Out How the Pyramids and Stonehenge Were Constructed

Thread Starter 


I could build The Great Pyramid of Giza, using my techniques and primitive tools. On a twenty-five year construction schedule, (working forty hours per week at fifty weeks per year, using the input of myself to calculate) I would need a crew of 520 people to move blocks from the main quarry to the site and another 100 to move the blocks on site. For hoisting I need a crew of 120 (40 working and 80 rotating). My crew can raise 7000 lb. 100 ft. per minute. I have found the design of the pyramid is functional in it’s own construction. No external ramp is needed.

They didn't have concrete floors. This is still impressive though, and seems like an interesting hobby to have.

fascinating on a one-off level since he has all that space, but how would you get the blocks up the tiers of the pyramid?

I've watched a few documentaries on Stonehenge with fancy academics proposing all sorts of intricate theories on how Stonehenge was created.

They have no clue how it was done, and a retired construction worker figures it out in his backyard. Go figure.

Raise it with the boards as he showed, then slide it over as he also showed.

Wow. I think they should name it Flinthenge.

Years ago, I read an interesting book that argued that the huge stone constructions in Egypt and Peru were made by survivors of Atlantis after it was shifted in a massive earthquake to the South Pole. I think it was called Fingerprints of the Gods.

I don't think he did show how the horizontal stones would have been put up there, though it's probably just the same jack method except on a raised platform.
