[Telepathic Intruder]

I saw this documentary where a team of archeologists tried to raise a small Egyptian-type obelisk using only contemporary equipment. When that failed, they used modern pulleys. When that failed, they had to admit their theories were wrong. What am I saying? I don’t know.

I think I know what you're trying to say, so allow me put it in to words:
"The so-called 'experts' don't have a freaking clue how these giant obelisks and boulders were moved." And I don't either.

And I saw a documentary where some eccentric guy tried to raise a Stonehenge-like megalith (downsized a little but still large and extremely heavy and dangerous). He just used some levers and timbers and sticks. His son helped him. It took a few days to get it upright. But this was just two guys and they were able to handle this multi-ton awkwardly-shaped stone. Shows it's possible to chuck these things around if you're not impeded by modern machinery and engineering degrees. But I don't know what I'm saying either.

Then there is this guy in Michigan.

Watch this and then wonder what is all the “mystery?”

But you said it so well.

What you are saying is archaeologists are not engineers or even riggers.
