In a project requiring something between 1.5 and 3 Million blocks. It is to be expected that they won't all come from the same place. especially comnsidering the logistical requirement to have blocks being moved from and to as many as four different adits at once, which is a reasonable assumption to draw.

What does it matter which side of the river those 2 came from.

What can it possibly indicate to you?

and why can't you see that this kind of question is one of the reasons that the Klemms dedicated their lives to the study of the provenance of the Great Pyramids of Egypt?????
