Holy shit Huggy..are you now wondering how trailers work.......? He used the rails so that he could lay his tackle under the blocks. You just watched a video of him moving and lifting stones.
Did it never even occur to you, for as long as you've believed whatever crazy shit you were imagining..to look up the coral castle museums website?
...and as to his 4th grade education..that's true..but it's also true that his family were masons and he worked in logging when he reached n. america. IOW, making winches out of logs and cutting rocks were well within his wheelhouse. He did make a working gen..but he also published and sold pamphlets that demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt that he had no fucking clue how electricity or magnetism actually worked. Sort of like how my son can make a paper plane..but can't explain the mechanics of flight.
Now..I don't hold it against a tourist attraction to do a little fluffing..but at some point...you're going to need to come down out of the clouds on this one. You're asking us to consider that..even though we have pictures and a film of the man using the tools we know he possessed..which are still on site at the museum..and even though we know it can be done without those tools by hand....and despite people watching him transport his stones by flatbed over the course of three years......that when no one was looking...he did it some Other™ way...and apparently did it again.."overnight"....and that all of this is...somehow, a comment on the construction of the pyramids and some lost ancient tech or secret.....
How can that make sense..even to you?

In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
