Impossible engineering in our Distant Past, but for them nothing was impossible.

Giant granite parallelepipeds weighing several tons move inside tunnels so narrow that they do not allow wheels under them do not allow winches to be used to lift them do not allow turning them in any way.

Beneath the parallelepipeds there are no signs that sleds wheels grease or anything similar were used. However a dozen of these objects were submerged underground moved through those narrow tunnels and deposited in side crypts several meters below ground level. Even the idea that they built the parallelepipeds first and then built the building fell apart as the entire structure was dug underground like a giant anthill.

    Your picture clearly shows a large amount of clearance / headroom above the stone that would allow wheels or rollers beneath?

    Newsflash: A civilisation that has worked stone for 100s or 1000s years without machinery, are good at moving stone.

    Did you actually do any research on this site before creating yet another one of your pointless AI posts? Anything at all? Did you try to educate yourself even a tiny bit?

    Vibration…. If you can phase lock a stone with its resonant frequency and enough amplitude…. You can cold melt it and pour like cement or carve it in place.
    Then hit with a different frequency and It levitates. You can move it with one hand…. Science!
    They obviously had more tech than we give them credit for. Just my two cents….
