[The Wizard]

with all due respect, something not always found here, no amount of slaves moved those stones.....read a little, even if you believe they COULD move them, (which I don't) they couldn't make the turn to go up a ramp....the ropes, and roller system, wouldn't work....

It's quite possible to move these stones around. The hardest part would be the bracing of the scaffolding to hold the damn things up, with the right pully system you could move those buggers around like puppets. Stomp your feet all you want but moving multi-ton objects just ain't that hard, it's all about torque and leverage, and that's what pullies and roller give you.

Pullies rates safe to 6000 pounds (or 3 tons, more than enough to move most of the blocks).
Here's some cool pulley systems:

As for moving big things, the generators in the Hoover Dam make the blocks of the pyramid seem like decks of cards, and we managed to move them around:
