A sled arrangement is shown in one of the old carvings with someone pouring something on the path...a mud slide approach.
The effort must have been incredible...say with the pyramids...2.5 million blocks ...how many a day ...quarry transport placement.
I dont like to side with the nutters but when you look at some of these big blocks at the bottom of various contructions one wonders how.
But keeping a populace busy is the name of the game and the economy that grows as a result.
We do similar today with huge spending on military stuff and infrastucture...
One can point to so much waste but keeping the populace occupied is a really important feature of a sucessful civilization...thank goodness we have video games...
