That's seems like an extremely reductive response to what I said. Is there a current explanation for the ability of stone age peoples to move megalithic stones in such precise manner? Literally my only claim is that the lack of explanation for this indicates that there are aspects of our history that is either misunderstood, misrepresented, or not understood at all.
Yes, I know, rolling logs, walking the heads, there's theoretical or more solid explanations for much of it! But to act like I'm some brain dead pop culture idiot for wondering how people who supposedly barely had use of tools lifted stones weighing many many tons into precise shapes seems weird to me.

And water! They added water to the sand to make it stones slide significantly easier.

There are literally youtube videos where a single dude moves MASSIVE boulders with engineering(Math). Most people have an Ah hah moment where they double down or research, I hope you choose the latter.
