youtube video cite? that would be interesting to see. there was that
other one that was making the rounds 6 months or so of a guy who
demonstrated how to move 60 ton blocks with a few pulleys, ropes,
stones, or counterweights.
OP: see about 2:00 into this video

Yeah, you could do that. But the Egyptians didn't know about pulleys or
block-and-tackles.

This same guy also elevated giant stones using a similar method. Everybody
would heave, the stone would go up and, while it was up, others would shove
timbers beneath it. Then while all the heavers rested, their
fulcrum/scaffold would be rebuilt a little higher.
