Just so you know, it doesn't really make any sense to try to act like the other person in a conversation is retarded for still taking part in the conversation that you're also still taking part in.

Also I wouldn't call saying "you are literally retarded" an attempt to convert someone else to your views so much as trying to make someone feel bad about their inadequacies, but I guess that's what I get for being subtle.

Flint Michigan? he must be one of the many, many unemployed there, so its no wonder he has the free time to mess with this...

@MrBenchy35 we don't build anything using megoliths because: 1) putting stones in place using cranes and other modern technology is actually harder then by using pebbles (yeah, go figure..), 2) stones are not the most pleasant type of material to live in, we have far more cosy and heat-efficient materials to build from,3)megolythic structures can stand for hundreds of thousands of years - the building companies would go bankrupt ;P.. though i'd love for them to at least build bridges in such way

Wow! so simple!

LOVE THIS MAN! you want to blow your mind? THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU DID NOT SEE IN ANY SCHOOL BOOK, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, ETC, HOW IS IT THAT THE MOST INCREDIBLE ARCHITECTURAL FEAT IS NEVER DISCUSSED? ONLY EGYPT, AND EGYPT IS A MIDGET COMPARED TO BAALBEK!!! only after you read about Baalbek will you understand that THINGS HAVE BEEN HIDDEN FROM US ON PURPOSE! Baalbek is more signifigant than the PYRAMIDS! AND STONES THOUSANDS OF TONS BIGGER, PYRAMIDS 80TONS, baalbek 1200 tons

@MrBenchy35

They could have used mid-sized flat rocks as stepping stones, or some object other than pebbles to shift the weight, like small logs to go the long distance, pebbles and flat rocks for the refined maneuvering. This fellow probably doesn't have the exact technique used for Stonehenge, but that's not really the point. He's demonstrated that not only could it be done with very simple, primitive "equipment", but also that it might not have been that big a deal either.

[MrBenchy35]

wow the ancients must have known how to make concrete pads then so that they could use a small stone to pivot there 100-200+ ton blocks across miles of grassy/sandy hills and valleys, i think a small stone would turn to dust under 100+ tons

[MrBenchy35]

@VanishingNomad Exactly!...you have only got to ask yourself why dont we build things today using megoliths...probably because its easier not too...so why did the ancients build with massive blocks as appose to small ones, they must have had an easy way to move them that we haven't rediscovered....yet... Mr Leedskalnin did but didnt tell anyone

[TheLibertyRPG]

Fuck Chuck Norris, this guy is awesome!

[VanishingNomad]

@MrBenchy35

It also does not explain how s is done WITHOUT a super flat concert surface to move the rocks on.

The ancients had to do this over all sorts of terrain. His little rock idea will not work on soft earth.

Now if I arrive home and my house has turned around, I know who to blame.
