The ancient Egyptians likely used logs as rollers to help move heavy stone blocks during the construction of pyramids and temples. By placing the blocks on logs and rolling them, they could reduce friction and make transportation easier. Additionally, they may have used a combination of lubricants, such as water or mud, to further facilitate the movement of these massive stones. This technique, along with manpower and simple machines, contributed to their impressive architectural achievements.
They could have moved the block through water, which would be Fluid Friction, and makes it easier to move.
The ancient Egyptians likely used a combination of sledges and lubrication techniques to move the massive blocks used in pyramid construction. Workers would haul the sledges over wet sand, which reduced friction and made it easier to transport the stones. Additionally, they may have employed a system of ramps to elevate the blocks as they were moved into place. This collaborative effort showcased their advanced understanding of engineering and teamwork.
The early Egyptians used inclined planes to move heavy stones for the pyramids.
They did by using dug-out tree logs.
Stone chisels to carve the blocks of stone in the quarry Pounding tools (to pound on the chisels) Ramps Rollers (under the blocks of stone) or more likely wooden sleds to move the stones to the beginning of the ramp and up the ramp Lubrication to reduce friction as the stone was moved Barges to transport the stone from the quarry via the Nile Levers to move the stones into place
Ancient Egyptians moved stuff by logging logs tied them with reeds and then pushed out into the nile and then floated down the river!

they carried them up with their muscles
They could have moved the block through water, which would be Fluid Friction, and makes it easier to move.
It would have been a matter of the weight of the blocks, as they usually weighted several tons they had nothing strong enough to bear such weight. With logs it was the ground which bore the weight.
Another way the Egyptians could have reduced friction to move the heavy blocks is by using lubricants such as water or animal fat on the ground or ramps. This would have helped to decrease the resistance between the blocks and the surface, making it easier to slide them into place. Additionally, they could have used rollers or sledges underneath the blocks to minimize friction as they were being moved.

1. Logs rolling it have to be replaced.2. Blocks were heavy
Make the panel show "OPEN" like the writing above the blocks. Move 3 blocks to the right. Move 3 blocks up. Move 1 block left. Move 3 blocks down. Move 1 block left. Move 3 blocks up. Move 1 block left. Move 2 blocks down. See related link for screenshots.

The Maya likely used a combination of methods to move large limestone blocks, including rolling them over logs or balls as well as using sledges or ramps. This allowed them to transport heavy stones for construction of their temples and monuments.
Boats and barges float, the Nile flows north, sails can move boats using the wind.
