Pavel Pavel

Solving how the ancient people could move megalithic statues and stone blocks became his hobby for which he became known.

He began this line of inquiry as a child, when he became worried he may inadvertently be transported back in time and charged with moving heavy objects.

[1] After the Velvet revolution (1989), Pavel became involved in local politics as a member of the Civic Democratic Party.

He and five assistants using only wooden sledges erected and moved a 30-ton rocking stone at the village of Kadov (in Strakonice District) to its original location, from where it had been removed in the 19th century by unknown vandals.

[4] He estimated that only 160 people with similar simple technology would have been necessary for transportation of the 800 ton stones in Baalbek.
