    Ancient technologies and Engineering

    Stonehenge: Did ancient 'machine' move stones from Wales?

    A trip to Egypt led a carpet fitter to devise a prototype machine for transporting stones.



    Engineer Shaun Whitehead, who led the Djedi robotic exploration of the Great Pyramid, said: "I'm often approached by people who have their own ideas about why and how these great structures were built.

    "I'm careful not to dismiss any of these without a little thought, but most can be shown to be unworkable or impractical.

    "However, Steven's theories on how massive objects could have been moved demonstrate a very creative and practical engineering mind."
    While he said nobody knows for sure how they were moved, Steven's idea is "as good as any, and better than most".

      I don't know if it's ancient - but that technology is pretty much how I walk down the hall to the kitchen - to get another roast beef sandwich.
