All that, and no use of wheels except on children’s pull toys. Very odd folk.

I agree. The Mayans generally used pretty small stones, and there aren’t any post-Columbus eyewitness accounts of their construction techniques; probably used rollers, as other civs did, for the largest stuff. The Egyptians had the wheel, and still were extravagant in their use of labor, such as a Ramses II (if memory serves) statue that is among the largest single pieces of stone ever moved.
