Stonehenge . How the heck was it built ? The latest theory , from a student , state since the Stone Age men did n’t have the wheel , they could have built rails with wooden balls inwardly to transport the monumental gemstone composition .
Andrew Young , the student behind the new possibility , set out cooking up the idea when he see carve stone balls near Neolithic Edward Durell Stone circles . He say :
“ I measured and weighed a number of these stone balls and take in that they are all precisely the same sizing - around 70 millimeters [ 3 inches ] in diameter - which made me think they must have been made to be used in unison , rather than alone ”

He further reflect that wooden glob could be used because they were well-to-do to carve and were much unaccented to channel .
When he try out this rail - and - ball set up , he found that he could move 220 pounds of concrete with just one finger . And with seven multitude pushing , they could move a four - short ton load , as heavy as Stonehenge ’s smaller Isidor Feinstein Stone . As for the 45 - ton with child rocks , Young speculates that it could ’ve been a combination of cows and Stone Age strength .
An interesting hypothesis , that with a little more oeuvre and testing , might be capable to excuse how those gigantic slab of Harlan F. Stone were transported miles upon miles . Ah testis , as integral to history as ever . [ National Geographic ]
