Wallington's Stonehenge


Wally Wallington
The “Wallington lever”
This is a good way to make your own megalithic stone structures to use as a house or just for fun.

Here are some links to the video and his site, and other info:

The above is a good video of the Wallington method in practice.

The above is a short delve into the physics at work in large object moving method.

The above has some extra pictures not seen elsewhere.



He has pivot points but I don’t know how he gets the rock pivots under the large block especially as he’s still moving the block. Because I would assume that one person would have to tilt the large block to one side while he puts a pivot stone under the other side of the huge block.

Or maybe he puts the stones into the correct position in the middle of the 180 degree turn and while he’s placing the stone pivot where he wants it, the huge block is resting on the ground halfway into the turn, and then he completes the full 180 degree turn and rests the stone exactly on the new pivot point, as long as he has calculated the exact placement of the pivot stone for the notch in the big block to rest on perfectly. Therefore he just keeps reusing the same 2 pivot stones.

I need to also research cutting out stone. I think if you have a harder material used as a chisel against a rock that is a softer material, then you can cut the softer stone with that chisel. Or just use a metal chisel. Also you need a mallet and a wedge to cleave of large chunks of rock. After chipping out holes to put the wedge in. Rocks always want to fracture along there grain, or along weak points that have been artificially chiseled into them. In the same way as you make perforated paper. You drill holes along where you want it to fracture.

And I figured out how the stones in the pyramid and also Machu Picchu were so exactly placed together so that even a piece of paper won't fit between them. In Machu Picchu, their stones were of many different shapes and sizes even at crooked angles so I theorize their method was to fracture the stones off of an original stone outcrop like disassembling a puzzle, and then reassemble those pieces back into the way that they were taken out along their same fracture lines. But for the pyramids what they may have done is hammer the tops of the stones to flatten them out or may have even sanded them.

Obviously none of this requires alien technology to accomplish. I'm going to have to try it one day.
