Wallace T. Wallington has figured out how ancient civilizations like the Egyptians moved giant blocks of stone before they discovered the wheel. He says, “It’s more technique than it is technology. I think the ancient Egyptians and Britons knew this.”

Kim Crawford writes in the Flint Journal that Wallington has several 10 ton blocks in the yard of his rural home that he’s learned to move with wooden levers. Last October, the Discovery Channel recorded him raising a 16-foot concrete block that weighed 19,200 pounds and setting it into a hole, in the same way ancient builders probably created Stonehenge. He now has a 10 foot high column in his yard. He says, “I call it the forgotten technology.”

Almost every culture has legends of wise men coming from far off, bring secrets with them that formed the basis of the new culture. We can see evidence of this at Stonehenge. DNA tests on the skeleton of the man known as the “Amesbury Archer,” who was buried with a arrowheads near the site of this giant construction, reveal he wasn’t English, but came from Switzerland, Austria or Germany.

His grave contains the earliest gold objects ever found in Britain, meaning he may have brought the secret of gold with him as well as building techniques. Oetzy, the 5,000-year-old “ice man,” whose body was found in melting ice in the Alps, could have been from the same culture, which would have been highly developed for its time.

And linguists trying to decipher the ancient hieroglyphs of the Mayans now have help: They’ve discovered an Indian tribe that still speaks the Mayan language.
