OK yeah, hyperbole about the work required but can you imagine stepping a 500 pound stone into the air with no mechanical advantage? I’m not sure that a human can even exert that force with their weight.
They would just haul the lumber up and build the machine at the top of the wall

He’s walking in a big wheel with a rope wrapping around a small wheel on his axle. That’s the mechanical advantage.
Ah, yeah.
So would that work? Can that dude treadmill stones to the top of the apparently 50-60ft wall with that mechanical advantage all day?
Would it help if I whipped him while he did it?
