How to move stones in ancient Egypt? Wait for the annual Flood Season.
The granite from Aswan may have been transported 500 miles but those blocks barely need be moved a few hundred metres, if even that!!
The waters used to rise high and could be delivered from the quarries to the build site. In some cases such as the Colossi of Memnon or the Obelisks at Karnak and Luxor they could have been floated right next to their final destination, if not right onto their final location.
