I found an interesting video by way of Physics Buzz, and thought I should pass it along (it’s about 6 minutes in length, but well worth your time). Wally Wallington, a retired construction worker, may well have figured out how a handful of people could have constructed Stonehenge — with just some rocks and a bit of timber to use as moving “equipment.”





The “trick” involves the use of just a few basic principles of physics, and some non-intuitive motions of the blocks. But don’t take my word for it, watch the video and see for yourself. The Physics Buzz post has a bit more explanation of the physics involved. And if you’d like to see more, Wally has his own website here.

You might also be interested in some other, vaguely similar posts:
