It turned out that the massive blocks of stone can be transported on wooden runners, mounted on rollers made of logs
The archaeologists from the University college London conducted a successful experiment, reconstructing the process of building the famous megalithic structures -. Stonehenge
According to LifeNews channel, scientists have tried to figure out which way the ancient builders moved the large stone blocks over long distances. They are built of short scrap of birch trunks “road”, which laid across the two legs. They hoisted the boulder weights one ton with attached ropes, which are pulled over 10 volunteers. When the “road” to an end, the logs were transferred back and underlay again under the skids.
In this way, participants in the experiment were able to “drive” a building material to 2.15 kilometers per hour. This means that the subject matter of such weight could be taken from the quarries in the mountains of Preseli in Wales to the construction of Stonehenge, ie for 220 -.. 230 km, with an expenditure of approximately 1,000 man-hours (excluding the time for laying logs)
Imported stones used in the construction of this facility, about twice as heavy as a ton. However, it is believed the organizers of the reconstruction, and for such objects has been set aside enough to transport about 20 people.
The stone monoliths of Stonehenge appeared between 2500 and 2100 years before our era, that is, they are almost as old as Egyptian pyramids. Archaeologists in Britain have found in the cultural layers at the time of any trace of it was wheeled transport. All this gave rise to a lot of hypotheses about how it was in the Stone Age could be transported such large objects.
