pretty cool stuff. The method of hoisting the blocks by tilting the wood and balancing the concrete on stones and rotating is simply mindblowing.

The sand trick to lift them I have seen before and I imagine he borrowed from somewhere else. For probably a few years now people have been using the sand basin to try and recreate the massive obelish hoisting in egypt. Those required no hoisting, just a enormous sand basin if I recall. That concete must have costed him a ton :-) .
