@sciencefunn: The lewis is a lifting tool used in stonemasonry to raise heavy blocks by inserting into a prepared hole. As the weight increases, internal pressure and friction lock the tool securely in place. Used in structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, Roman Forum, and Pont du Gard, where small visible holes in the stone still mark where the lewis once carried tons into place.

Ancient Egyptians did not have access to hard steel or iron, they only had copper, bronze, gold, etc.

You need a pretty nice tool to make that kind of a hole into solid granite from the top!
