Where is the channel for this? Why wouldn't they simply unload it and store it for its use in the counterpart? How far apart were they?

Not clear here, are you saying they were bringing in the core stone by boat instead of the quarries right next to the pyramids?

Yes but that vastly increases the work and the need to have a ramp or track up the side

No I'm fully aware of how heavy water is, which is why I asked you how they got it out of the ground and to your barge.

Do you have a diagram of how this worked and its position in regards to the pyramids? I'm particularly interested as to where you think the pivot was.

Your counterweight would have run on a ramp and I look forward to seeing these diagram as fitted to the existing Giza ridge line topography. (like that map I showed you). Important question have you been to Giza and walked around it? Are you aware the site is on the side of a ridge line?

So about 75 tons of water were used? Again can you show the diagram of where the water came from and how it was placed into the barge.

'Little effort' moving 75 tons of water would take a great deal of effort along with moving the stones out of the quarry and moving them onto the stone barges then moving them off the stone barges to their place on the pyramid - where again was the 'station' where they were unloaded? This is unclear was at the base of the pyramid or up ON the pyramid?

Are you using the older discredited 2.3 million number of one of the modern accepted number of around 590,000 stones?

Yet the Romans, Greeks, Hans and others never used such a system and they were far better engineers.

An aside where is the first documented use of a counter-weight system in the ancient world?
