this book is a page turner.... i am about half way thru


here is a quote from the book:

"This construction meant that Ed lifted 10 ton blocks of solid rock 20 feet or so into the air, and while suspended – and, most amazingly, at night – fitted them together with the nicety and accuracy of a jeweler piercing intricate jewels. This was all in the day’s work to Ed. He did this work with the casual, methodical simplicity that marked everything he did – with one exception. This was the actual lifting of the big blocks – which was all done at night. The block would be seen on the ground when the last visitor left in the late afternoon – and it would be in place in the building in the morning. How Ed lifted those big blocks is still unknown today.

Probably no one will ever know – now – the details of how he worked, for Ed left no written record, not even notes, about his building operations. He had no machinery, no cranes, no lifts or hoists to move the big blocks. All that is known – for a certainty – is that he did it – mostly at night – for the results are there for all to see today. Nearly all Ed’s final placings were done at night. This was his usual custom with his major bits of construction. In the closing stages of each placement, in the dead of night, he did his work without mechanical apparatus other than the simplest of tools he made himself. Even these, as well as their operation, had to be simple to get the results he got in the darkness, with only a small lantern to light his way."


The real question is ; What was in the box on top of the teepee (lodge style) structure he had. I believe thats what he used to move the stones
