160 ton rock. That’s 320,000 pounds. Dragged over a wooden trackway? Imagine the friction of stone weighing that much without wheels on wood. What wood on what surface could support that much weight without being crushed?

Assuming they had some uncrushable wood, how did they pull it along? With slaves? People?

Utter BS!

It’s apparent that it isn’t BS.

“What wood on what surface could support that much weight without being crushed?”

Years ago I did a job in a dry dock, working underneath the USS Constellation aircraft carrier. It really surprised me to see this huge ship supported by stacks of wood timbers! I thought they would have developed some “modern” system to support it.

Of course dragging it anywhere would be an entirely different feat.
