Interesting. So how would they have lifted the stone onto the rollars and on top of lever?

Wouldn't the stone eventually move over the logs and fall off because the logs are rolling under it? Wouldn't it be extremely difficult to roll the stone because the logs would be swerving? Unless the logs are all somehow connected, a platform was attached to the logs, and the slaves pulled the platform instead of the stone.

It might explain the number of deaths in the construction of the pyramid.

Ok. So, the stone is successfully levered onto step 1..how would they put the rollars under it and levered it again onto step 2?

Ok. I'll take a look It's nice to hear a fresh idea.
