Sometimes the best tech is low tech - Stonehenge solved?

The mystery of how Stonehenge was built has been with us for more than 2000 years.  Suggestions have ranged from thousands of people gathered to move and lift the rocks - to mammoth earth-moving techniques - to aliens.  But a Canadian man may have discovered that the answer could be simpler - and more elegant - than any of the proposals made to date.

This video shows how he - by himself - has used the simple mechanics of earthly physics to lift and position 10s of tons of material - and how the ancient Britons might have done the same thing to build the monument at Stonehenge.

Thanks to John Edwards for bringing this to the blog's attention!
