Firstly, I`d just like to repeat this:

:o)

I presume that I`ve already got a reputation on this thread for being negative, that`s why I`ve shut up for a bit. I suppose that it`s my matter-of-fact style of writing that gets people`s goat and my way of expression just alienates people to what I`m saying.

Secondly, err....I disagree (LOL) with what your saying about whether they would have erected the stones in this way. Once you`ve mastered the theory of moving large weights horizontally with the lever method, it seems to me that the logical progression would be to attempt to apply it vertically, too. It must be a lot easier than any other method. Don`t forget, Gordon suggests that his method was used to build the pyramids, too.
