A man discovers how to make a modern stone-henge...

The J-Walk Blog: Moving Big Rocks

Moving Big Rocks
Wally Wallington can move anything.

Wally Wallington has demonstrated that he can lift a Stonehenge-sized pillar weighing 22,000 lbs and moved a barn over 300 ft. What makes this so special is that he does it using only himself, gravity, and his incredible ingenuity...



Tell me what ya think

Great video. It reminds me of the guy in Florida who moved large coral objects around his yard by himself. I know I would love to have something strange like that in mine. Maybe a replica of a Olmec head or Mayan stelae surrounded of course by bananas.

A very smart man! I'd love to see a video of the Egyptians building the pyramids LOL.
I moved a 550 - 600 lb stone once. Gradually prying w/ a 2x4 & a lot of leverage.
