Already been, but thanks. There are a lot of problems with megalithic stones that develop along their way toward immortality. Perhaps the most famous is attached in the pic below: an obelisk that was found to be cracked and abandoned in the Aswan, Egypt, quarry thousands of years ago.

Your stone was an estimated 1,000 tons and this machine is 45,500 tons.

45,500/1,000 = 45.5

3. This is still in keeping with what I said. IF we can carve, move & place these stones today it would require the very best we have to offer in technology.

I asked for an example. None has been given, but no big deal. I knew that there were none.

I then simply pulled up the first thing that came to mind to answer your "have you ever heard of..." question.

Like I said before, there has to be some sort of reasonable motivation to get some one to move a big piece of stone around. Without the motivation... who cares where the rock sits?

One example near to my home is a big piece of marble weighing a mere 79 tons. The guy who owns the quarry wants to give it away for free! He said he'll even pay for the transport to the East Coast - out of his own pocket and a local car dealer.

But, he can't get anyone to take him up on the deal. So the 79 tons of marble just sits here in Colorado until somebody gets up the motivation to say, "Go ahead, send it along..."
