Monkeys understand the lever principle.....It isn't precisely documented, but
through re-creation they had determined that "ancient" peoples had pretty much
the same engineering tools , or they had to have a good working knowlegde
of not-so basic engineering to have built any of the monolithic sites.

You should see some of the research on the bog causeways that were built
as well.
