The Romans didn't make it to Peru, but just generally.. lots of hard work and skilled stone masons. Or ya know, aliens, plant juice or whatever other conspiracy theory you want to pick.

That wouldn’t work. The stone would crack and crumble as soon as you began to lift it right around the area, where you have installed that hook.

What the hell? Klara actually giving us an informative video with no trolling? Not sure whether to be impressed or disappointed.

I'm pretty sure that Romans didn't have machine shackles

You're stupid. We've already established that they turned the rock into liquid and made it levitate onto the correct placements. Get with the times.

Cool. How did they hoist these rocks up to the top of the pyramids?

We still use these. Especially, on bridge construction, highway, and retaining walls.

The accounts of slaves building everything doesn't track, it was difficult enough to get them to pick cotton even with a whip.

Now do the hundred other ancient civilizations all over the world that, all at the same time, decided moving 50ton+ blocks made more sense than building with wood.

Where'd they get the steel braided cable and hook? Plus a several stories frame to do the lifting?
