People do not get onto the railroad tracks to drag stones or boxcars.
If people got on the "inclined plane technology" they'd have been run down by stones or henu boats.

The "inclined plane technology" is at a 70 degree angle. If a man got on this one he'd fall 80' onto the stones coming up from below.
Humans did almost none of the work to build pyramids. As the builders themselves said "The gods (natural phenomena) built the pyramids". You discount their every word. i do not.

It is only proven that the stones were delivered to the bases of the great pyramids and then the stones were pulled up the sides of the five step pyramids. The means to get them to the pyramids is established to be funiculars and at least one of them a linear funicular.
It is not yewt established that funiculars lifted the stones straight up the sides because Egyptologists refuse to do the testing. It is likely that funiculars were used for this as well.

Man fears the pyramid, time fears man.
