Lifting and Pulling Stones in Ancient Egypt

When looking at the records that the ancient Egyptians themselves left behind, there is no evidence of any high tech building techniques. What is depicted are people lifting and pulling rocks with surprising ease. The images are surreal in the way they portray people lifting big rocks onto their shoulders. A thin stick appears to be all that is required to lift two big stones. No bending of the knees was required to lift the stones from the ground. To make it all even more absurd, the people doing the lifting appear to have been giants.
