You've cracked vertical lifting, now onto moving blocks a thousand miles from the quarry!

I stand corrected. It all seems so obvious, why do people still disagree?
Now find sticks or stick assembly strong enough to lift a few tones of stone without breaking at the rotation center
I'm not saying those are the exact techniques that were used to build the pyramids, but they demonstrate that massive stones can be easily lifted and accurately placed using only "primitive" resources and leverage.
There is no guarantee that the lever would break in any position as particular as the pivot point.
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
