You'll change your tune when archaeologists dig up that big-ass ancient crane, Mr. Stewie.

Anyhow, have you ever seen the NOVA sponsored experiment and documentary in which a gaggle and a half of EngDs, master stonemasons, and Egyptologists attempted to quarry, transport, and elevate a 35 ton obelisk (not one of those 500 ton ones ... just a teensy one) using the materials and techniques the ancient Egyptians are believed to have used? The whole idea was to prove that it could be done.

It was very funny ... hilarious, really. A bunch of sweaty PhDs trying to screw a rock. They got nowhere. They couldn't even cut the stone, let alone move it an inch.
