The Israel Antiquities Authority said on Sunday experts believe stones as long as 8 meters (24 feet) were extracted from the quarry and then dragged by oxen to building sites in Jerusalem for major projects such as the temple.

My recollection is that this one, which is part of the western wall, is a lot longer than 24 feet! It extends from where I am taking the picture to my son (six feet tall, in the orange shirt).

Bigger by far than stones used to build the Great Pyramid. Dragged by oxen?
