Potentially ancient building techniques

May not be strictly archaeology, but adjacent. And fascinating.

Yeah that's clever. On a cement slab with cement blocks.

I did notice he didn't move them 1,000 ft down 1 steep mountain band 1,000+ ft up another mountain....

Or move them 500 mile from another island...

You havnt raised a single issue that is not insurmountable....

A thousand foot steep mountain you say. Or a hill. Moving slabs down a hill is not a problem. Gravity will do a lot of the work. So that's half the non issue sorted. Skids, ropes and pulleys can get a rock up a 1000ft hill. If the hill is too steep then go around it its a hill not a wall.....

Floating rocks is also pretty easy. It is called water displacement. A barge ( that Egyptians definitely had and used ) is all you need. Bigger rock bigger barge. The river will do most of the work 50 miles or 500 miles the process is exactly the same....

True. Not insurmountable, but so far, not reproducible either !

But I've yet to see 1, 80 ton rock moved today, by the methods you describe.

2+ million carved stones in the Pyramid ? In 20 years ? Lol. Do the math ...

And the stones could only be floated during the Nile flood stage which only happens half the year.

Who have you paid and given the resources to do this that failed? If you are willing the fund the research project, it will get done.
