I did stuff like this on a few jobs. It's surprising how much weight a few people and a few levels are capable of moving. Flipped 880 lbs of train rail on one job and did a wharf rebuild that two guys regularly moved around 5oolb plus wooden beams. People did it in the past. Many have forgotten how today. Or they defeat themselves before they even give it a try. Learned lots about how to do it from my folks and an experienced logger I worked with as a young man.

Think Stone Hedge and many other massive moves. Byblos has a few stones near 100 tons. Has been and can be done by people power.
