    It's an interesting theory. Unfortunately, the author is incorrect on a crucial aspect of the mystery. The heaviest stones were not quarried on site. They were cut on the coast, lifted onto a truck, then driven inland. The video states that the 30 ton stones were simply tilted over after being cut out of the ground, which is 100% untrue. Why this guy obscures that fact is beyond me.

    The fact that this guy just "happens" to work at a facility that creates pulleys also raises a red flag. Remember that this is the same guy who has set out to debunk any ancient alien theory on youtube. Claiming to be an expert on pulleys is just a little too convenient for me unless he is able to prove it somehow.

    I love your thinking processes here, bstuart.
