Original Note:
The Stone was never moved from the quarry, is suggested they didn't know how to lift it. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/largest-manmade-block-ever-carved-was-just-discovered-lebanon-180953518/ Cutting granite in Greek/ancient times was pretty known and documented: cuts were made on sides of the stones, heavy hammers were used to drive iron wedges through the cuts, splitting it. https://learnmore.ancienttemple.ysma.gr/constructing-the-temple/
