Egyptians didn't have cranes, but that didn't stop them, they used what they had (alot of /slaves/ workers died but that's not the point), and made amaizing pyramid structures that stand tall to this day.

I mean, lemonade came from a dude who only had lemons on his farm (at least it's what I believe)

What ever life gave you, it has potential that might not have been discovered, yet. I mean, who'd thought a long-cross screw and nuts on either side could be used to lift a tonne of vehicle for a tyre change?

Use what you have to bring about what you love.

Egyptians didn't have cranes

But they did have storks, which are almost as good.

When life gives you storks...

...make pyramids.
