Muscle power and simple mechanics, they used simple levers to lift the stones short distances such as manoeuvring it into place or lifting it on or off a sledge. To get it to the working level they built a ramp (inclined plane) up which the sledge was dragged by a gang of slaves. To ease the passage of the sledge water or oil was poured under the blades.
