Carts with oxen was interesting enough, but there was another system of several logs placed parallel under the larger blocks, while oxen pulled, the logs rolled, and strong men pushed. A third system must have been most cumbersome, where they made giant wooden wheels on each side of a block and rolled the contraption. I can imagine it settling on the flat side of the block and rolling out of control at each corner.
