No, lowering the capstone isn't what we're suggesting. Using the 'stub tenon joint' as a pivot point is more like it. So all the energy of lifting and placing the capstone can be directed at the other end of the stone.

Hmmm, I like that less. All that effort creating the stub when you could be getting on with the job. You wouldn't make a stub if you were in a capstone-placing race would you?

I personally wasn't suggesting any particular way, just having a pivotal point to 'hang' it on so to speak. Remember this capstone is on a hell of a slope so a 'peg' to hold it in place was essential to just keep it there before adjusting it to its final position. Huge sloping weights will stabilise on the smallest of projections if the downward thrust is forcefull enough.
