Levitation makes as much sense as levering and there's the
same amount of evidence for it as ramps. Wheels are out. Some-
one would have to show a way to do this hydraulically to have
a viable theory.

Material technology was hardly sufficient to use kites. The
size of a kite of enough size to lift the ropes and a 2 1/2
ton stone could not have been strong enough to support the
stresses.
