How Did They Lift 50-Ton Stones? Stonehenge Secret

How did people 4,000 years ago move 25-ton stones without cranes? Some of these stones used in Stonehenge were transported from 180 miles away, weighing as much as a double-decker bus. This mystery has puzzled historians, archaeologists, and engineers for centuries. In this video, we explore all the major theories behind the construction of Stonehenge. First, the popular Log Rolling Theory, which suggests ancient people rolled stones on wooden logs — but researchers found the land between the quarry and the site had rivers and wet soil where logs wouldn’t work. Then, a 2016 experiment in the Netherlands showed that pouring water on sand reduces friction by nearly 50%, making it easier to drag heavy objects. Could ancient people have known this trick long before modern science? Another strange theory claimed that sound waves — acoustic levitation — were used to lift stones, but that idea was later debunked. The most accepted theory today is that ancient builders used wooden ramps, ropes, and pulleys with brilliant teamwork and planning. New research also reveals that Stonehenge wasn’t just a ritual site. A hidden road aligned perfectly with the solstice sun shows that every stone had meaning, and its position and angle served a specific purpose. So maybe the real mystery isn’t just how Stonehenge was built, but why — and what ancient knowledge was used that we still don’t fully understand today.
