People have different ways of remembering things. Many of us have what's called a photographic, or eidetic memory.
It's a fairly loosely applied term that describes the brain's ability to take a mental image of something that can be used when recalling memories.
It's incredible what humankind can accomplish when they come together. What is impossible to do alone is made possible when we come into harmony. We create a world of endless possibilities together and are powerful in creating change. It's up to us to chose whether we use the power of team work and solidarity for good and bad.
For one amish community, a group of men, young and old, came together to accomplish a task that otherwise seemed impossible: lifting a metal barn from the ground up and moving it to a new location, Here's how it went.

The current Amish community is made of descendants who left their homes in Europe when faced with prosecution for their religious beliefs. Today they live in tight-knit communities all over North America. In fact, there are about 40 Amish affiliations all around the United States.
The Amish community is completely self-reliant and lives minimally. They are cautious to embrace the technologies of the modern world. They prefer not to use electricity and big machines, and instead use their own manpower. That means that to build and relocate entire structures, they only have their are hands to do it.

It all started on a planned morning where hundreds of Amish people traveled on horse carriages, with their families, to Joseph Hochstetler's farm in Knox County, Ohio. They were all in agreement that they had one mission to complete before sundown, they were to help one of their own move their barn to a new location.
To make matters worse, the weather was cold. They were dressed in their community attire, all matching and ready to work as a unit. They had no tools at their disposal. But, not one voice was heard complaining.

The community was able to bring in 250 of their men together for this project. The men got into position filling up the space all around the four sides of the barn. Then together, they lifted and carried it like it was nothing as one single piece. They walked in uniform, as the women watched in awe. The way they were able to maneuver the giant structure was natural like they had done it hundreds of times before.
They gave each other pointers on where and how to straighten it to make sure the process was safe as they walked 200 feet across the field. The whole community was present, contributing where it could.

In the footage, a voice can be heard directing the group: "alright, take a hold,” while another man then yells, “Go!” The moment the barn was left was completely synchronized, and each man had a firm hold. They then carried the huge structure steadily. They reached the other side perfectly coordinated and then proceeded with the next step: rotating the barn clockwise to position it in its new location.
It was like it was moving on its own. This moment was met with awe from the community. A woman was heard asking "You see all the feet moving?" in amazement. The men then proceeded to lower the barn back on the ground. No one was injured even though the risk of crushing your hands seems high.

Believe it or not, the entire process took less than five minutes. Despite being an incredible risk, and even arguably dangerous job, no one gave up and no injuries were reported. The community, young and old, had figured out how to work in complete harmony. This is common in the Amish community where when one member needs help, their neighbors generously lend a hand.
Since the community refrains from power tools, they have an incredible ability at using their bare hands. In 2018, another video surfaced in Ohia showing the incredible moment Amish men surrounded and picked up a pole barn in order to similarly move it from one location to the other.
