They moved one stone in human history that was really big.
The biggest stone ever moved was the Thunderstone.

They used a big team of people, and they moved this thing not very far, like 10 miles, 8 miles, something like that.
And when they were pulling this thing on the ground, they had to consistently try metallurgy different types of ball bearings for it to roll on because the ones they were moving would keep being crushed.

They would use these screw jacks to lift the statue back up and put it on bearings.
Well, the Romans didn't have a screw jack.
