Oh yes, very plausible. Just so everyone is clear, 4,000 meters is similar in height to the highest peaks in Switzerland. You take the idea of "Sherpa" to an entirely new level. But just so I am clear, the theory is that an ancient civilization built a ramp 10 km long to help drag blocks of stone weighing in excess of 100 tons, up to a height above 4,000 meters with the use of Llamas and slaves? And the ropes are made of llama skins because we forgot to mention, nothing else is growing at that height that you could use. If those proposing this theory could move just one stone that distance in the manner they propose I would applaud them
This is no more a theory than the magic bullet theory on how Kennedy was killed.
And why would an ancient civilization do such an absurd thing?
