    Whips, rimmer, massive massive whips.

    Actually, this isn’t that hard given enough slaves and beasts of burden like camels.

    Each stone was 2.5 tons (5000lbs) on average and the average human male can pull 500 lbs easily. That means with decent friction elimination (rolling logs, water, sand etc.) it would only take 10 adult slaves and a horse to move each block.
