Ngl, I saw the title and thought it was going to be about the overheard of the JVM.
The common view of how hard it is to move large stones doesn't match reality. There are many examples (eg [1][2]) of what one man can do without any heavy machinery. People have been moving large stones around for thousands of years. And the "how" is simply using leverage and the power of many people and beasts of burden.
Still, it's interesting that they would. I suspect many of them didn't have a choice.
