Wally Wallington is a retired Construction worker who claims to have found a way one person could construct Stonehenge using only materials and techniques that do not rely on any modern technology. He has demonstrated this technique on the Daily Planet, and is building a full-scale concrete replica of Stonehenge single-handedly. His technique uses simple machines such as levers.

Sure, it's not impossible but is that kind of technology / construction technique congruent with the historical period in which it was built?

Also, that Wiki page is very, very small. (just sayin')

TALK page (June2007-August2007) says it all: (presumably, in response to "delete this for insignificance!" claims)

You've got to be kidding me. Wikipedia has extended detailed articles describing single episodes of television sitcoms. This guy has demonstrated interesting techniques that suggest how Stonehenge may have been built -- and you're calling this article on notability.

    I agree. This is very notable. We also should keep an eye on progress, that'll be real interesting. - Redmess

Yeah! I seem to recall seeing it demonstrated there as well (by the guy in question).
