(It's OK - I knew what you wre trying to say).
Obviously, it's one thing using the seasonal changes in the Nile to ship a heavy payload, and wooden sledges to transport it to the final destination; and quite another to transport stone blocks on wooden sledges, even blocks weighing only a fraction of the heaviest granite beams in the Great Pyramid, from Abergavenny to Amesbury. Water was sometimes poured in front of AE sledges to facilitate the dragging process. Presumably, there are all sorts of different hypotheses about the Stonehenge sledges, and how they were dragged - if, indeed, it wasn't some other form of transport ...
