I'll give you that we can lift enough to place the ground level blocks.

How about the logistics in getting them there?

On a side note ...

Have you seen the latest finding on what is under these Pyramids? Incredible.

The technology they used to scan under the pyramids is not capable of what they are claiming.

EDIT: also a freight train is capable of hauling over 150 million lbs. We would need 75 trains to transport the entire weight of the Great pyramid.

Not only could we build the pyramid today but with modern technology and the full effort of a major nation (as was the case in its construction) we could have it done inside 6 months.

I think the logistics kind of speak for themselves in his previous comment. If these blocks only weigh as much as a tank, and we fly those around in planes. I'm assuming the logistics in getting these blocks for any point on earth to the construction site would be pretty easy
