Don't have an answer, but I'm not buying that wind pushed a 660 pound rock.
You do realize that it is “wind” that lifts a Boing 747-400 weighing 870,000 lbs (max takeoff wt) up into the air.
SO on an extremely “slick” (very low coefficient of friction) muddy surface, a very strong desert wind - which can easily exceed 100 mph - can generate enough horizontal force to break the rock free, and then, once it is moving, slide it these long distances.
Visualize a weatherman showing off in a hurricane, and being blown away down the road.
Weatherman - rock - basically the same thing... :-)
:-) to any weathermen, don’t be offended.
Morelocks. That’s my guess.

Think of a beer being slid from on end of a bar to the other.
I’ll take glacial deposit for $100 dollars Alex. heh
That’s generally how things got moved around into the strange positions we see them today, although this does look odd even for that.
