I do believe the heads really walked there! Apparently the Islanders forgot how to make them walk, but nonetheless: A man in Flint Michigan has been casting concrete megaliths on one end of his (2-acre?) piece of land and "Walking" them all the way across his property to the construction site where he is replicating Stonehenge. I don't know the exact materials involved but we can imagine what he is doing to approximate the following: On can insert two trailer hitches--or even just two really strong rocks, side by side, into adjacent holes near the center of gravity. The entire stone can pivot almost effortlessly on either or both of the two tiny "Legs" So he leans the rock onto one pivot point, walks in a half-circle until the floating pivot point swings out-front. Then he shifts the weight onto that pivot point and swings the other pivot point out-front, and so-on. I should add that the Coral Castle guy was said to cause stones to "levitate" or "hover" just above the ground, and that is pretty much what the stones look like as the Flint MI moves these enormous concrete blocks, single-handedly, especially if the Coral Castle witnesses were not really show the pivot-maneuvers.

I saw an anthropologist's 16 mm movie made in the 1930s, as I recall, in which the islanders moved one of statues left just outside the quarry. They used conventional stone-age techniques such as rolling logs and lots of manpower. This is the same technique used to build Stonehenge. I believe there are enough marks on the rocks to confirm that. - Jed
