I don't recall anyone finding a single hammer or any tools at the pyramid sites.

Please explain Baalbek? Yes, I would agree that these were stoneaged peoples using only the materials they had from nature plus their brains, but a 1500 ton stone?

Yea no clue how man could move blocks with... oh wait.
The human mind is the most powerful tool ever devised, I think its so sad people refuse to recognize the power we all hold in our minds.

Cool! Techniques like this and others were concealed from most people by guild law for thousands of years, so you can't blame people for not knowing about them, or for thinking they are mysterious, heh.
Also, I'd like to note that AAT does not say "Aliens built this". It says "In those cases in ancient times when humans appear to take a sudden leap from nomadic tribal groups with no knowledge of construction techniques to vast nation-states that constructed monuments which persist to this day...perhaps they had help."
People that like to ridicule AAT always portray it as the former. I wonder why??

So far he's managed to move a barn weighing, I would guess (more then likely I'm wrong about the barns weight as it maybe more) about 10 to 15 tonnes but how about a 1500 ton block? That's a far cry from 10 tonnes, but then again the same principles apply all you need is more leverage, lol. I'd like to see this guy try that, lol.

There is one thing wrong in what you said - In Baalbek, the Quarry is uphill, the temple is downhill. So rollers, and an understanding of Gravity & ingenuity helps!

Ummm...that is ONE guy moving it. Now imagine a crew of thousands.....I am pretty sure using even this one possible technique it would be done without much effort. All you are talking about is 9-14 more people, if that is even needed....could be less seeing that this guy is not exactly at his peak for age and fitness.....

Let's also not forget about The Thunder Stone, the base of the equestrian statue of Peter the Great...moved by man with no machines and no animals. Largest stone ever moved this way that is documented....and bigger than ANY of the others we are talking about.

Thunder Stone
Carburis directed workmen to wait for winter, when the ground was frozen, and then had them drag the large stone over the frozen ground to the sea for shipment and transport to the city. He developed a metallic sledge that slid over bronze spheres about 13.5 cm (6 inches) in diameter, over a track. The process worked in a way similar to the later invention of ball bearings.
