    If you take the heaviest stone and divide it by a reasonable weight to walk long distances- say 20lbs, you find you need a few thousand people to carry one stone. You need several thousand ropes for each worker, but again each rope only needs to lift 20 lbs of the whole.

    Modern estimates put the number of workers at 10,000. So they just had to carry them.

    It’s no wonder they didn’t document it. Lift stone and walk. What’s the big deal?
