The stones on PumaPunku are on the order of 1-200 tons.
The picture you show is from Baalbek and shows a stone weighing about 800-1000 tons.
The largest mobile/truck crane (Liebherr) can lift 1200 tons. The largest fixed/gantry crane (Taisun) can lift an eye popping 20,000 tons!!!

So we need to stop this Erik von Daniken insanity “we could not lift it with a bunch of our cranes today” It’s getting silly.

But let’s put all that aside. You see the stones there, how do YOU think they moved them?

Lifting and moving from a prepared site is one thing. Cutting that stone out of a mountain and moving it miles and miles to that location is another.

We could not do that today, I still maintain. (and if we could, it is only with the biggest industrial machinery we have- how did they do it 10,000 years ago?)
