Forgotten Technology

Wow, I guess Wallace T. Wallington rediscovered an old technology with which he is not only able to move, but also raise a 19,200 lbs block of concrete by himself. Forgotten Technology (Click on the pictures to see little demonstrations, absolutely amazing.)

He estimates:

I could build The Great Pyramid of Giza, using my techniques and primitive tools. On a twenty-five year construction schedule, (working forty hours per week at fifty weeks per year, using the input of myself to calculate) I would need a crew of 520 people to move blocks from the main quarry to the site and another 100 to move the blocks on site. For hoisting I need a crew of 120 (40 working and 80 rotating). My crew can raise 7000 lb. 100 ft. per minute. I have found the design of the pyramid is functional in it’s own construction. No external ramp is needed.

Spread the word, how much productivity will we gain, especially in third world countries? And sell your Caterpillar stocks :-) [Via Quote-a-Day]

Perhaps this is also at least one of the techniques used by Ed Leedskalnin to build his Coral Castle.
