  2. or your average british builder 5 weeks to build a wall...

  4. Take 1 200ft obelisk. Drag via 500 slaves to the point of your choosing. Balance said obelisk on a pivot placed at its centroid. Place counterweight at pointy end. Take some more slaves and add a bit off whip, dig hole at the end with the fat bit. Dig 50ft hole or to a depth of your choosing. In windy locations add 1 dead slave to foundations for the gods. Remove counterweight and let GRAVITY do the work.

  7. We didn't use bloody wheels, we used tree trunks for rollers, it spread the load, avoided compression of the wood or the ground :Happy:

  8. I already gave a link to an Obelisk inRome weighing more than 200 tons that was moved there from Egypt . It was pulled by legionaries, they had thousands of them and it was floated on a ship built for the purpose. It was stood upright. All documented. they had more or less the same technology as the Egyptans.
    In Victorian England armies of men dug huge railway cuttings, built embankments, viaducts and tunnels across mountains, swamps and valleys. They used little more than picks and shovels and muscle power.
