There is a guy on you tube that built his own miniature Stonehenge made of cement. He used the known ancient techniques, by himself, to move blocks that weighed upwards of 10 tons.

They dragged the stone over a smoothed surface to a predug pit. However, the article fails to mention just how the people dragged the stone.
Did the just use people with ropes and harnesses ( assuming they could make a rope strong enough to pull a 150 ton stone without breaking )?
Did they use logs as rollers ( assuming the logs were some very hard and dense wood that would not be crushed by 150 tons )?
Did they carve some hard stone into perfectly round rollers ( assuming they had stone of sufficient hardness that 150 tons would not chip or grind them as they rolled )?
I recall a song about a coal miner complaining about moving 16 tons.
