I did see that too, and it was hella cool.
I think that is like the first legit stone-age tech way to do that that I have seen, and I have seen a lot of stupid Discovery channel Stonehenge hour-long waste-of-times.

If you ever played Star Wars Dark Forces, think back to the sound your character makes when he falls off a cliff.
My vote for most annoying and over used stock foley sound ever...
It's literally in EVERYTHING!!!

Haha, I know exactly what your are talking about. They even use it in a Marines comercial. Very abnoxious.

The sounds I always hear are the stock stormtrooper Star Wars death cry and the Doom door sliding open.

Let me guess. It's the sound of the Marine Barrack(I think?) in StarCraft also? I hear that damn screaming everywhere and I always think of StarCraft.

They don't seem to cover how to add the blocks on top. Was he unable to figure that part out?

I think he covered enough lifting and movement methods to leave us with enough to put together the rest. I could see them using the jack method to lift the horizontal top stone high enough while you set the vertical stones in place underneath so that you can later lower the horizontal stone back down to rest atop them.

True, would love to see him make a video of that part. Definitely would be the most time consuming/tedious part.
