The ancients that did move these stones regularly doubtless had a lot of simple tricks we have simply forgotten about because they weren’t needed for anything other than moving huge stones.

The reason putting 'institutional knowledge' down on paper is a good idea...

Exactly. Imagine if something horrific happened—a mad virus or something like that—which wiped out 95% of mankind.

While we could probably get by for a half a generation on stuff that was left over...it would soon all break or just wear out. No more gas. No more power cells. No more electric pumps (new ones.)

If something like that happened to wipe a bunch of folks out, it would take the engineers and mechanics with it. It would be pretty grim, pretty fast.

Stone tablets was a good idea, too. As long as you don’t get mad and throw them down.
