How'd he do the top piece?

[Oblidemon Ouroboros]

It is Cience!. Like the one Edward Leedskalnin used for the Coral Castle :3

[zencat999]

use a bigger pivot device. i.e. bigger stone or ....whatever.

[zencat999]

progressive stepping with levers and lots of timber. start with top stone right next to the uprights on the ground. lever a side up about 6", toss a timber under to hold, do the same with the other side. now repeat a few dozen times till top stone is even with the top of the uprights. And then its just a matter of using a lever to push it into place.

piece of pie, easy as cake.

we be some smart monkeys.

gotcha, joe. the stone used as a bearing, the hammer, the lever and the wheel. the 4 greatest "machines" ever imagined and brought to reality by human effort. danm, we be some smart monkeys!

How did they get the top blocks on there? Keep in mind I'm genuinely asking; I am not trolling and would like to know. My guess is that it was a ramp and a couple of pebbles, but I would like to know how he did it

Don't forget simple machines.

[TheInfinitihb]

Very neat. Physics at its finest.

I am happy you saw the sarcasm. Welcome to the world of critical thinking.
