Artwork within the tomb of Djehutihotep, which was discovered in the Victorian Era, depicts a scene of slaves hauling a colossal statue of the Middle Kingdom ruler and in it, a guy at the front of the sled is shown pouring liquid into the sand. You can see it in the image above, just to the right of the statue's foot.

Only the smallest blocks are a measley 2.5 tons. The bottom courses of the Great Pyramid are in excess of 200 tons - nice try though. 200 tons is the weight of a locomotive engine - FReegards
