The idea of moving 140 ton blocks 12,000 feet above sea level WITHOUT a wheel is absurd.

The Mayans built their pyramids in Coba without the wheel and dragged the supplies through the forest.

How lost, consider Edward Leedskalnin

If you have the time, this is a good read LINK

In Homestead, Florida, using his closely guarded secret, he was able to quarry and construct an entire complex of monolithic blocks of coral in an arrangement that reflected his own unique character. On average, the weight of a single block used in the Coral Castle was greater than those used to build the Great Pyramid. He labored for 28 years to complete the work, which consisted of a total of 1,100 tons of rock. What was Leedskalnin's secret? Is it possible for a five-foot tall, 110 pound man to accomplish such a feat without knowing techniques that are uncommon to our contemporary understanding of physics and mechanics?
