Its only another theory but interesting nevertheless.......

"Scientists showed how balls placed in grooved wooden tracks would have allowed the easy movement of stones weighing many tons."

Archaeologist Andrew Young described the experiment in which he sat on top of the slabs to provide extra weight.

He said: "The true test was when a colleague used his index finger to move me forward - a mere push and the slabs and I shot forward.

"This proved the balls could move large heavy objects and could be a viable explanation of how giant stones were moved."

I would have thought a child of 6 would have known that...but in practical terms?
