In other words, you could chain everything the military has with engines, wheels, or treads to the thing and all pull at once, and it wouldn't budge.
But if it weighed half as much, primitive equipment would slide it along easily? Remember, now the mass and thus inertia don't care what the force of gravity is, and the people pulling it are anchored to the ground by the lesser force of gravity, too.

Using the guy standing in front as a 2-yard yardstick, I guesstimate that column as being 15x15x75 feet or 16,875 cubic feet. With a limestone or sandstone density of 170 lb per cubic foot, that comes out about 1430 tons. What does the Shuttle launch assembly in Florida weigh again?

Re: When did it change?
and the Ica stones show numerous dinosaur types
The Ica Stones, however, are recent forgeries.

Re: When did it change? how old the rock?
You cannot scale any organism up or down by a significant amount and get a functioning version.
Despite protestations at certain "creation science" museums to the contrary: they have a five-foot long "human femur" in scenic Crosbyton, Texas:

Re: Have no reply? pity.
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your
pearls before swine..."
You nimrod! What have you presented around here that's "holy," as if I gave a crap about "holy?" And where did you present a "pearl?"
​
What arrogance!
