400 men in Russia moving 1 1,200 ton rock (who knows how far) in 1700 isn't the same as quarrying hundreds of thousands of 1,200 ton rocks, milling them, transporting them up a mountain (hundreds of miles away from the quarry) 7,000 feet in the air.
This would require millions of humans working to support the project over the course of hundreds of years. There's no evidence of that.
Okay but where's the evidence of huge quantities of expendable humans? It's the same problem as current pyramid theories: the amount of anatomically modern humans required to make it would be in the millions. There's no evidence of of millions of humans in Egypt around that time.
True but you still have to a) transport it b) mill it and c) stack it
Don't underestimate the power of huge quantities of expendable humans.
...but if you're gonna postulate that, you have to show there was 'caloric infrastructure' (as in, a food supply-chain) to power the slaves' muscles.
400 men with zero animals moved a 1,200 ton rock in Russia in ~1770, moving these stones are entirely possible with humans.
