Great stone structures and megaliths around the world stand as mysteries to how they were constructed. Is it possible their builders possessed the powers of defying gravity?

Wally Wallington pretty much laid to rest for me almost every claim that these ancient structures required supernatural assistance.

There are several errors in that video which just reinforces even more that levitation had to have been used.
First of all, he built a ‘Stonehenge’ with 1 ton blocks. The real Stonehenge blocks are nearly 30 times that weight.
Secondly, sure he can stand a block straight up. But he never once explained how to get a block on TOP to lay down on both standing blocks. There is no way to do it with the junk he was using.
Thirdly, once the blocks are in the wooden contraption, yes, you can weigh them down to make them stand, or put a little rock under it and make it spin. But how did he get the large blocks into the wooden contraption in the first place? He never explains it because heavy machinery is used to do it.
Fourth, if you listen closely, Wally says “I TRY to do this without any mechanical machinery” And “I use MOSTLY sticks and stones.” I’m sure he does, but in order to get the 19,000lb block into the wooden see saw, he had to use machinery.
Lastly, if the ancients used these techniques to make a stone stand on end, tell me, did they also use a hose to spray down the sand to make it wet?
Sure, this guy can very poorly recreate a few standing blocks here and there, but the Great Pyramid of Giza? Coral Castle? Easter Island? Where’d they put the massive wooden see saw when they were half way done with the Great Pyramid to move the rest of the blocks in perfect place all the way up to the top?
Just because there’s one sloppy way to recreate something doesn’t mean that’s the only possible answer.
The only logical answer is levitation.
Ah… so our sour old visara DOES have faith.
