Metagenes method of transport for large stones edit

The program "Lost Worlds: Jesus' Jerusalem" on The History Channel makes mention of a "metagenes," a device used to transport massive stones for the building of temples. This method of transportation involves setting a rectangular stone into the center of two large, wooden wheels, making it the axle support for the wheels. My hasty online research suggests that this method was used by Metagenes in the sixth century B.C. and was recorded by Vitruvius in his books on architecture in the first century B.C.[1]

I don't feel that I have the expertise to add a paragraph of good quality on this device, but perhaps a knowledgable anthropologist will be able to add something about it.CuteGargoyle 01:08, 26 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
