How Humanoid Aliens Built Stonehenge...

Wally Wallington of Michican has solved one of the great stoner debates of all time: Given the technology available at the time, could humans have built stonehenge? I have never been to stonehenge, but I've remembered thinking the same about the massive stones involved in the pyramids in Guatemala and Egypt. For those bigguns, we're generally taught that there were armies of slaves involved rolling rocks up ramps on cylinders. From the dioramas and animations I've seen, it's believed to have been a brute-force operation.

In Stonehenge, the stones were quarried a long ways away. There are real doubts about transport and then how to lift these monsters up in the air. The bigguns are over 25 tons. That's like 50,000 lbs (or 25 buffalo if you're studying to be an air-traffic controller)

Wally Wallington, an ingenious retired carpenter has applied some lessons he learned on the job and spent time figuring out how he could lift and move rocks of this size using only levers, fulcrums and gravity. What he's been able to conclusively demonstrate is that each part of this construction is possible using significantly less human power than the hundeds of pushers and pullers that most people assumed.





In light of this demonstration, a great mystery is solved about the construction of Stonehenge: Since most aliens we have come into contact with through science fiction are about the same size and shape as human actors - we can now recreate how the aliens might have built Stonehenge.
