Jul 16, 2021

The strength of a group of people can be absolutely mesmerizing to watch. When faced with difficult tasks, it's common for your adrenaline to rush through your veins and help you perform tasks you might not have been able to otherwise. HealthLine described adrenaline as the "fight-or-flight hormone," as it is typically released in response to situations that can be exciting or stressful. It helps your body react quicker, and can even increase blood flow to your muscles. For a large group of 80 Amish men, their adrenaline was surely rushing as they lifted an entire house in Spartansburg, Pennsylvania, and moved it.

The Amish are well known for their methods of simple living, such as not relying on electricity or modern technology. They have a true appreciation for the simplicity and slowness of everyday life, and have continued to shy away from the technological advancements of current society. Their rural life, manual labor and humility are just some of the aspects that have contributed to the Amish being the noble group they are today.

Leaving behind any type of machinery or electrical tools, these men used nothing but their brute strength and bare hands to lift and carry a house, transporting it from one location to another. Using faith as their driving force, executing their goal seemed to be easy for the large group of men. Their sheer manpower was more than enough to carry out the difficult task in a moment that has since become a viral sensation. While it's incredibly rare to see the acts of this group on camera, it was even more rare to witness such a feat of strength.

The Powerful Moment They Move The House

A video of the unbelievable moment has since been uploaded to the Mission to Amish People's YouTube account and has garnered over 1.2 million views. Using nothing but their willpower and bare hands, the 80 Amish men picked up a house and easily moved it over to a slab of cement. NY Daily News reported that the astonishing moment was captured by a cellphone.

The men dispersed both around the house and inside the house to distribute their efforts accordingly. In the video, the many pairs of feet were seen walking quickly under the house as the men were hard at work to transport it from its location on a field of grass to a nearby slate of concrete. A handful of others kept watch and guided the group as they moved. For nearly six minutes, the group did all they could to complete their mission, and their efforts have certainly not gone unnoticed.

At first, the positioning of the house was a bit slanted with some parts hanging over the side of the slate of concrete, but the men quickly adjusted their plans and immediately got back to work before easily sliding into place. Their collective teamwork made the entire ordeal a complete success, and has since made people all over the world express their pure wonder and amazement upon seeing the spectacle. Forgoing any type of machinery or any electrical appliance, these 80 men relied solely on their great communication skills, brute strength and bare hands to carry out such a difficult task.
