How did one guy lift 200 ton stones and build a castle out of them by himself? Keep in mind a whole work crew with a giant crane would have problems doing this.

Research it yourself. A single guy moved 200 ton blocks that would be difficult with a full sized crane today. He did it himself alone at night with a tiny 3 wooden pole home made crane... Explain that!Smile

Here's Wikipedia on it

No, I'm serious. How did they do this stuff? Do you think the guy had super strength? Did he figure out anti-gravity? Did he use some kind of sound or vibration tech?

Yeah, in other parts it talks about him doing himself as if its fact. So contradictory info...Smile

So that's your official answer?

I was thinking maybe the guy figured out a new technology or something...Smile

And you people call me a conspiracy theorist...

Yes... that's my official answer as an... official.
If he did discover new tech, why didn't he make billions off it?
Why didn't he share it?

Yes.
You are a conspiracy theorist.
But you are very entertaining.
