Pretty massive rig. I wonder if the Egyptians could have moved it faster - start to finish?

i didn't watch the youtube videos (blocked here at work) but what is so special about this rock that they are putting it in a museum? We have plenty of very large rocks around here, maybe i should dig a couple up on my place and sell them????

I wonder how much it weighed?

So is the whole idea to put a big rock in front of a museum or are they going to have it sculpted into something once it is there?

340 tons. It will be suspended over a long trench, and I think you will be able to walk under.

It's what they call "art" :)

You gotta love the street sign you see clearly at the very end of the first video above.

It is funny! But of course that's why they have so many tires; so that the load is so spread out and won't exceed the design limit of the roadway at any one point.

Shrink wrapped. Nice, gotta keep the weather off from the millions of year old rock!

Probably to keep if from getting tagged with "street art" during the numerous stops along the way. We are talking L.A. :)

Or maybe bystanders would be chipping off souvenir pieces and the rock would only be 340 pounds by the time it got to the museum!
