And I suggest you re-watch that same NOVA show about the statues on Easter Island- it was filmed BEFORE they realized that the statues are not just the heads, but are full-body statues buried up to the neck.

And the large stones on puma-punku could not be moved with a few dozen cranes. And they are dated to be over 10,000 years old.

You can choose to believe that they were able to cut and move them by banging it with rocks if you like.

The stones on PumaPunku are on the order of 1-200 tons.
The picture you show is from Baalbek and shows a stone weighing about 800-1000 tons.
The largest mobile/truck crane (Liebherr) can lift 1200 tons. The largest fixed/gantry crane (Taisun) can lift an eye popping 20,000 tons!!!

So we need to stop this Erik von Daniken insanity “we could not lift it with a bunch of our cranes today” It’s getting silly.

But let’s put all that aside. You see the stones there, how do YOU think they moved them?
