You had this concern of yours answered, but have acted as if nothing was ever said.

I failed to consider nothing. I failed to mention it, though.
Just for the record, I think the blocks were stored on a wooden ramp system that was built across the opening leading to the Queen's (2nd) Chamber. The cutouts in the walls on the east and west side of this area were probably intended to hold wooden supports that were part of this heavy-duty extension of the Gallery floor.

Which I've just explained above. The slots shown in this image:

Would have been perfectly adequate for the support framework of wood, the thickness of which would have supported granite blocks of the magnitude we see in this picture:

Your objection is rendered null. The 22 foot length from the northern wall of the GG to the beginning of the floor of the GG, as you have cited the measurement above, is more than adequate to handle the 15 feet of granite plugs, assuming they used the aforementioned wooden ramp in that exact location where we find post-holes dug into the walls, of adequate size and dimension to handle the weight in question.
Why start a new thread on a topic that has already been fully explained?
