How I lifted and moved 4 ton concrete airfield plate (6x2x0.15m approx) without any help:
- Find a center of the plate.
- Dig out ground from under one end almost (approx 20 cm) to the center of the plate, Fill it up back after 5.
- Put some rocks on the end of plate that is over the digged cavern. Plate will tilt.
- Push a thick wood plank under the plate approx 20 cm from center of the plate on the opposite side.
- Move rocks from one end to another. Plate will tilt to the other side over plank.
- Put another plank 20 cm from center like first one, but on another side
- Move rocks to the other end.
- Repeat 4.-7. adding planks until you get necessary height. Add planks under the ends of plate too, to avoid too much tilt - plate could slide off if tilt is too big.
After lifting this 4 ton plate 30cm I put a dozen round logs under and lower plate to that logs tilting it and removing planks. Then began to push plate on logs using plank as lever. As it moved enough to free last log, I moved this log forward. This way I rolled plate to place I needed.
4 ton plate, one human, some wood and some beer. Lifted and moved without any enormous efforts in a few hours ( beer took some time, you know :) ).
You could move much larger stones same way, especially if you have unlimited slaves. Then say some chutzpa to your friends and shills about magic power of some shitty ring you rob recently of some unlucky dude.
