A clever man who likes to move big things. And while humanity may be more educated these days I don't think we are any more clever than we ever have been. Someone back then would have figured it out. If one man today can figure out how to move a barn, by himself, with just some wood, rocks and rope, so could someone thousands of years ago. I like the theories.
I wonder how closely this technique is to what Edward Leedskalnin used in creating Rock Gate (aka Coral Castle).

Quote:he Coral Castle site states that "if anyone ever questioned Ed about how he moved the blocks of coral, Ed would only reply that he understood the laws of weight and leverage well."Which is almost the same as what being claimed by the builder in the video you linked.
