clad, I get the feeling your interest is more attuned to understanding the ancient texts. Is that a correct assumption? From what I read, you feel certain that water counterbalances were used to hoist the great stones, but your real work is making sense of the translations that are available.
If it is so, the single greatest idea that came from that era is "As above, so below." (total misquote, you will know the correct form) What do you think this means? Is it figurative or literal?
How did they cut the stones? Was it with a large wheel saw or did they split it along the cleavage?
