1 ton = 2,240 lb (exactly 1,016.0469088 kg)

x 1,200 tons

= 2,688,000 pounds

Assuming an average slave could pull, say 200 lbs each, that would take 13,440 people pulling at once to even start to move one inch.



Do you honestly see that happening in this case, beyond a shred of a doubt?


Well the example you're using is the biggest possible stone.. and it says it is still where it was cut.. doesn't that mean it wasn't actually moved?
