Sure, I agree, to the extent that it is possible to do it. However, I think there are some holes in your theory. Firstly, your maths is a little wishful. 11:1 mechanical advantage from the levers with five men pulling from the ground is 55 men. I don't see how the 6 men on top can multiply this up to 330. Also, the levers will only move the stone by about 1 foot. How do you then reposition the lever so that you can get another foot? We have to move the stone 11 feet at the top from 70 degrees.
