Faith to move mountains, or just ingenuity?

A retired Michigan carpenter named Wally Wallington has figured out how to move rocks weighing 22,000 lbs. using only his own strength, gravity, and extraordinarily simple ancient technology. Pretty amazing! Archaeologists and engineers have been mystified as to how prehistorical people could have erected the huge pillars of Stonehenge (according to Wikipedia, “various authors have suggested that supernatural or anachronistic methods were used, usually asserting that the stones were impossible to move otherwise”). But Wally might just have figured it out!
Here’s his website where he explains the physics of how he does this (click through to Page 2 and beyond for the details):
