Lime stone would be easy I expect but how did they cut granite?
So many of these folk presenting on youtube this stuff claim that there was a civilization that disappeared I think 12,000 odd years ago that was responsible and that those who came after incorporated their earlier work such that we think the Romans (as one example) built on top of earlier ruins such that they were seen as constructing the monolith.
There are some huge blocks out there ...as much as 1000 tons and as many question how could these things be moved with rope and blocks and tackle ... I expect thats how but just think of how we would today move 1000 ton...a big trailer with how many wheels 100 maybe 200.
I expect that a sled lubricated with something and how many humans?
Anyways how would you cut a granite block of 1000 tons

It's a good question actually.
