It seems like about twenty years ago I bought this DVD from Wally. These techniques came in pretty handy over the years. I showed some guys how to raise an I-beam under a house. They were amazed. Another time I raised an 8' long granite slab to fit into an oak frame to build a custom dinner table. It was built in the room and will never leave it. No one could figure out how I did it alone. Wally showed me how.

I have a very heavy computer hutch. My brother in law, a big, burly guy, moved it into my condo on the second floor. I didn't want it on the wall he put it, so I got some sliders and put them underneath with little lifting. On a carpet, the sliders are awesome, decreasing the friction factor immensely. I shifted one side a little, then the other, and I was able to walk it to the opposite wall. No, I did not do it as fast as he did. I didn't need to. I had time on my hands. Even if I didn't have sliders, even moving it an inch each side would get it to the opposite side. And turning it a complete 180° turn gave a great moving advantage. My brother in law was astonished. Give a person a long enough lever and a fulcrum on which to set it, one can move the world!

Yeah moving the blocks isn’t the confusing apart. Most people saw Wally 20 years ago. The thing is how did they cut granite which is a 7 on the mohs scale to extreme precision comparable to todays MACHINED stones and they did it with hand tools. Tube drill holes in right angle corners that are extremely sharp. The perimeter of the base of the pyramid x 43,200 is the exact circumference of the earths equator, the pyramids align perfectly with the lat. and long. of the Earth and Orion’s Belt, the granite blocks inside are finished so perfect the space in between them is 1/50th of an inch and can’t fit a razor blade between them. So with all of that known, moving the blocks is kindergarten shit to them of course, but it’s how the hell they make the huge stones and cut and polish them to machine level quality and mirror finish with hand tools? It’s just bonkers. And no I don’t think it was aliens, they were just smarter than we think. Also Wally is making his blocks with concrete, Egyptians didn’t make blocks they removed the hardest/heaviest rocks like basalt, quartzite, and granite from the earth.

Yes...in time you can rig up levers and whatnot to move large stones....but what we're not seeing is the HARD part of the ancient megalithic constructions which was the quarrying and transportation of the stones hundreds of miles to the building site. Then there's the problem of the timeline the Egyptian authorities claim it took the pyramid construction where a block had to be placed in its' final position every 15 minutes or less. Tell me how using what the video demonstrates would possibly work in 15 minutes even on the ground level let alone hundreds of feet in elevation. This absolutely does NOT demonstrate how the pyramids could have been built unless it took hundreds of years....which it might have...but in any case the 'authorities' cannot be right in their timelines.

Twenty years ago, some fellows and i had the job of digging an elevator shaft pit with shovels. It was 10 foot square and 6 foot deep. Near the bottom of the pit we ran into a boulder that easily weighed 800 lbs. My solution to the obstacle was to carve a niche out of the wall and roll the boulder into it. Precision paid of as the boulders final resting spot was flush with the wall. On the same job, we encountered a massive concrete wheel that served as some type of balance at the top of an ancient elevator. That had to weight 1,200 lbs. To lower that from the forth floor to ground i suggest we take a long rope tied to the wheel, loop it twice around a support beam and three of us could lower the wheel in a controlled descent. Co-worker asked "are you sure?" It worked flawlessly. I later moved that wheel 200 feet to the basement by myself using only four short pieces of pipe as rollers.....

Ive amazed co-workers with machines and things at the shop I was able to move myself with nothing more than a couple of steel pipes a block of wood and a board like a 2x4. That's really all you need to be able to move an amazing amount of weight, once you have the weight on a couple of round steel pipes, logs, or similar, it takes very little to move it. A block of wood and a bar or board can lift one side up an inch, slide a board under that, do the same on the other side and you've lifted the weight up that far, all you need is more blocks of wood to get it higher. The real trick is getting a 100 ton block of stone across miles of desert sand, and then raising it up a 100 feet!

If you use levers and pivot points most of the mass is discharged on the ground because you create a slight imbalance and the mass on one side of the pivot point is almost perfectly balanced by the mass on the other side and you just have to input the difference. If you want to lift the block one meter, you still have to provide the final amount of energy required to lift it in the air, but in the case of levers and wood planks you can split the total required force in small increments that one or few persons can easily provide.

The Egyptian drills are ingenious and there are old paintings of craftsmen using them. Unless you know what the paintings are actually depicting you would think they were some obscure religious staff with amulets tied to them. These are crooked sticks with sandbags tied to the offset as weights for the flywheel action. The cutting is a copper tube with corundum abrasive and water kept on the bore with a little clay.

What he does not show is how to move this block on ground grassland BUt: 1) given the reduced number of people required, it is not difficult to think that a squad of few people with wood mallets could move ahead, clear the path, and compress the dirt. 2) since the whole weight of the monolith is on one fulcrum at each "step" you can have a squad of few men to move thick wood plates and a flat stone on the landing point of the next step so the fulcrum will not sink in the ground but land on a solid surface that spreads the weight. These above are (in my opinion) reasonable assumptions that do not require fancy tech, and a minimal number of people could pull off with a simple level of coordination (crews on tall ships used sea shanties to coordinate the work at the capstan ad other maneuvers, I can speculate that a few drummer and a ritual song could do the same)

Dude!! That was great. right at the point i was thinking "there must be a less labour-intensive way to move all that counterweight from one side to the other every time, like with a crossbeam and a pendulum of sorts" you call in your son to act as a (part of) the counterweight, and it clicked: just use about 20 people to walk from one side to the other each time. easy peasy. then i realized i have probably seen something kinda similar on TV, like in one of those low-tech countries in Afrika, with highly clever people: they drive a long pole/pipe straight into the ground by placing a springy board on top and stand on it with the 20 most balanced locals bouncing up and down: goes surprisingly well. I had some idea how your method worked; place pivot point, rotate, move pivot point,... But to actually see it happening was something else. The method where you simply wash away the sand on the bottom of the pit when you stood the large block upright was cool/clever too. Maybe use a pushing stick to place pebbles or so under the monolith instead of your arm: since you work alone, it's going to be a long afternoon if you have to wait until they notice you're late for dinner before they come looking ror you. 😀 Unless you have a penknife on you and have seen the movie "127 hours" 😵 The "rolling the block on the rolling road" was great too. There's that meme where one guy chissels his block into a cilinder or a ball, while all others try to roll a square block: there's a caption that says "work smarter, not harder". sounds great, except that he'll turn up at the buildind site with a round block when they need square blocks. Your method is actually usefull.

Now imagine this with hundreds, if not thousands of people pulling ropes, pulling levers, pushing, cutting, grinding, building cranes 20 meters or more. On an empty lot, with no buildings, no children, no streets to damage, no building permits, no environmental regulations, no working hours, no safety at work, and a long etc. Now do you understand why no one replicates it nowadays? Currently, we only build according to what the law allows. That's why our cranes are pathetic compared to those of antiquity, they are just more resistant. Have you seen the Chinese shipyards? Look at the size of their current cranes.

Wally, i have seen another technique where they basically have a canal of water from the Nile to the base of the pyramids and they float the blocks of rock. And in that video they had a pipe that can hold water, and ports that you can close and open. And the video showed how easy it could have been to raise a block by having it float up a tube all the way up the side of some construction, like the Pyramids. What do you think of that? Or did they just use pulleys and ropes and all that stuff? Or is the current hypothesis correct, where they say there is actually a ramp inside the pyramids that made it possible for them to pull the load up? Anyway, you are a genius and i wish you would show us in a new video all of what you have accomplished so far. Great stuff sir, but i have seen other videos which seem to me that it might be possible people understood all of this back in those days, and they just used water and floats to float them blocks.

The only problem I see is that from the very start all the blocks begin raised with material underneath. If stone blocks like at Stonehenge, not from the area where Stonehenge is, had to brought in somehow. Then how would they get all those blocks and pivot points underneath a large block that as flat on the ground. Also at the time it was built, I do not believe they had access to steel. The concept is awesome. It looks like a small group of people could move blocks quite easily, but only is they were delivered by a flat bed truck. All your work was done on a pre-poured foundation, not on uneven ground. So, I don't see how it can be applied to Stonehenge or the pyramids unless they know how to make and pour concrete. The math and physics are amazing. Great videos. Love it.

I’ve been looking for this video for awhile, lately I’ve seen other YTubers that talk about stonework having nubs but can’t find a reason for them. I remember watching this video and how a small stone was used as a fulcrum but if the stones had a nub or two in most cases then they could be used in the same manner. As balance points the nubs allow someone/s to move or even walk a extremely large stone into position and once there they can tip the stone over into position and what is seen remaining are the nubs facing out. Any ideas about this?
