Re: I want to move a mountain

Gordon, I've read up about the BBC experiment with the replica sarsens. I guess you know all about it. The thing that struck me was that the academics were able to infer that on the basis of how they did it the total manhours for the construction of Stonehenge might be radically reduced. And yet your method would greatly reduce it again.

I'm wondering whether the BBC would be altogether happy to let you use their replica. Particularly if another TV company was involved. At the very least, they might want payment. I suppose we COULD purchase it if it was cheap enough (buyer collects?!!!) or, better still, rent it...
It's a tricky thing to value though, a second-hand 40 ton trilithon!
