calimac's visit, so I just got to this piece posted by drelmo (which he in turn got from Pharyngula):
A man in Flint, Michigan is building a Stonehenge-like circle of standing stones in his back yard, using mostly pre-Bronze Age technology. By himself.
(I say "mostly" because even in the section we see, he uses a garden hose. It's easy to imagine Paelolithic builders using a bucket brigade to do the same thing.)
Similar techniques were almost certainly used to erect the Moai. They're amazing to watch in practice.
