Such walls layered with grinding in stones inplace with hand labour.

In the past, time cost nothing. Today most think it is impossible to spend a day grinding one brick into another for perfect fit. People just can't imagine that. However, that's not something outstanding at all if you have a decade to build a building and thousands of workforce. No any advanced technologies needed. Just time and workforce.

How did they place these 200 ton stones? They have no plausible means of moving them, much less lifting them precisely into place

How did they place these 200 ton stones?

First, I don't see 200 ton stones. 10 tons max. Stone have density of around 2500kg/m³ So, stone of size meter by meter by meter will be 2.5 tons. Stone with size 2 meters by 2 meters by meter will be 10 tons. Stones on your picture are smaller.

As for one of simple and handy methods - read my comment here - https://conspiracies.win/p/1ARK0LWSrU/x/c/4eXtiGbGUlA

They have no plausible means of moving them, much less lifting them precisely into place

That's just not true. It is not only perfectly possible, but it is not even complex and could be done by few people and some wood. It will take some time, but absolutely nothing impossible at any level of human development since paleolite.

If you need something really misterious - look at Nazca pictures. Nothing complex to create, but you definitely need something flying to control the process of creation. Was it kite or baloon, or something else, made from organic materials like wood, leather and other materials that will not leave any remains over time - that's really interesting question.

Only one of the pictures has anything providing any kind of size reference

Anyway, here’s the wiki page. Megaliths weighing (up to) many hundreds of tons moved into position:

And no, log rollers or log pivots to move massive stones don’t work in desert sand lol, though I did enjoy that comment when I first saw it, I don’t believe it applies.

Linking to pedowikia as an argument is an idiocy.

It does not matter what pedos in pedowikia approve. There are simple methods of cutting, moving and glueing large stones. They need time and workforce, but there is absolutely nothing exceptional.

And no, log rollers or log pivots to move massive stones don’t work in desert sand lol

But they perfectly work if you put few long logs as a rails on a sand.

Seriously, is it that hard to just think and experiment a little to find out that most "ancient technology misteries" are not misteries at all, just basic knowledge of simple physics perfectly available at the time. Even monkeys, bears, parrots and ravens understand what lever is and now to use it.

The main fuckup of those who still dance around "ancient technologies" is that they completely unaware, that any advanced technology have a long and wide trail of industries that make parts of that technology. If there was some advanced technology, then we have to constantly find tools, pieces, materials, gears that specific for that technology in different stages of readiness everywhere.

But there is nothing. Just regular up-to-date tools, parts, materials, gears and all that things. No any specific tools, materials, parts, gears that could be a part of some out-of-time technology.
