“We can push away the sixth stone from five stones connected together. Five or more stones always stay still, because the friction of a few stones is always bigger than the friction of one stone. So joining the stone in-groups we can move stone one by one. Simple wooden levers and wedges or only wedges will be completely suitable tools for blocks transport along the ramp. And we do not have to worry about friction, because stone platform coated thinly with sand, would be not only the transport road but also the tool smoothing the surface of stone block. It should be noticed that this method of transport did not need any special tools; it is the ability, which disappears in time, when this way of transport was not needed any more. Stones placed densely in two or three rows will slowly move up, securing proper transport efficiency. Very important advantage of such transport is that people stay in one place. They do not have to transport themselves along the platform and it is big energy saving”.(....)
“Stones coming closer and away, like rings of a huge worn, could look from a distance like legendary walking stones”.

This kind of transport will be always less energy absorbing than classical team of men pulling heavy sledge and using 90% of platform surface to transport themselves.

"At the end of February the work was stopped because the raising sun hit also the northern wall. Then the stones were left on the platform just where they were placed. So when the next year work started people did not need to waste time for starting. "Sleeping" stones became "alive" and at the first hour after starting the pyramid was already rising".
