Yes, I’m familiar with him moving blocks around. I think that he makes good points about transporting blocks, but he didn’t show if he could build a pyramid with his method. I think that the Egyptians used basic physics to move the blocks and that it’s not mysterious but a lack of understanding.

There is a longer video of him actually stacking blocks and spinning them around and pretty much putting them to any height and attitude desired. He is showing with basic physics that these things can be done without power tools and engines.
There is another video out there showing essentially the hole and loose sand technique for standing a big block to show how the Easter Island statues were likely stood up.
I would love to see a demo of it all being scaled up to the Baalbek blocks.

New finds seem to imply they had iron tools as well as copper. That and organizational skills. Religious zeal could be a factor as well. Didn’t use slaves—paid workers. For labor on the project they got Meat to eat and all the beer they wanted, tax relief and—the big kicker—eternal life in the world to come. Both men and women were used to keep this thing going. They had a sort of Pizza (sans Tomato Sauce) with cheese, onions, meat. The crew also got the best medical care in the ancient world! There was an unintended benefits. By accident they invented nationalism. The workers started to see themselves as Egyptians rather than members of a village.
