40,000 Pound Stones in a Horse Wagon?! - Minneapolis City Hall
At Minneapolis Minnesota sits a massive stone structure with individual stones weighing up to 46,000 pounds! Currently used as the City Hall, it’s said that these stones were transported 165 miles to the site by horse and wagon during the 1890s and the entire construction was done in 4 years! In this video we examine those claims and the logistics of transporting one 23 ton stone over a distance of 165 miles with the water, food and rest that would be needed for a team of horses. How long would this really take?.... or is it Impossible?
