Re: The hole for stone 56
Sep 05, 2003, 20:44
If the holes say no then no it is. However in the BBC experiment a ramp was needed to plant stone 56. That means the archaeologists think a ramp or some means of elevating the stone above ground level was necessary for this stone to be planted.

If that is the case, then we are much better of than we were yesterday. Using the tower method instead of ramps is still revolutionary. We can prove that it is miles quicker, easier and much more efficient. Plus we only have to acchieve an angle of perhaps 70 or 80 degrees, I've already acchieved around 80 degrees by pure guesswork. How much manpower is needed to pull a stone from 80 degrees to 90. Whatever the figure we use levers to reduce the manpower requirements to less than fifty.

Hole 27 might be the best thing since sliced bread. Best of all it will please Nigel
