How did they move the Trilithon ones, and get them up into place? Honest question.
No one knows but we can speculate that they did what other ancient cultures did they dragged then on sledges by manpower from quarry up a ramp and pulled them into position.
They may have used winches but there is no evidence they had them at that time.

Is there an issue with ramps being able to hold that kind of weight, or no?

Not if it's built right. Only a few really heavy stones were ever moved by man before we developed power machinery.
Here is a list:
en.wikipedia.org...
Why? Again it was very, very difficult. Just seven stones over 400 tons were ever moved (one isn't mentioned on that list one of the Egyptian obelisks moved to Rome was an estimated 455 tons).
If 'someone' at the time of the Romans who built Baalbek atop an earlier structure had some 'advanced' technology why did they only use it to move 3 stones then throw away this ability?

Well, either ancient civilizations were interconnected and came into contact with each other in the past(which archaeologists say was impossible) , or a long-lost mother culture predates all of the ancient civilizations on Earth, and it is from this mother culture that ancient civilization such as the Aztecs and Egyptians inherited their knowledge from. Something was responsible for the striking similarity of ancient art, architecture, symbolism, mythology, religion and scientific knowledge between ancient civilizations such as the Ancient Egyptian, Ancient Aztecs and Maya among others.

I agree with this. The ancients especially in Egypt cut stones with razor thin accuracy. Stone age tools? Impossible. They used gravity negating technology as well as co.puters to do this stuff. There was definitely previous technology present. Why are the statues also perfectly symmetrical? And we think we are modern because we have 3d printing machines...

the stones at ollantaytambo weren't mentioned on that link...
even though they're no where near 400 tons... they managed to get them from a mountain top where they were quarried, down and across a valley and a river, and back up another mountain...
Must have been one hell of a ramp
Generally in these discussions people fling all sorts of things at the topic. I'd like to talk about just one type of technology that you think is "out of place" for two very different civilizations... look at best evidence and discuss that.

actually i will take you up on that...
pretty much everything in this video applies.... can't seem to get the code right so heres the link...

Laser precision cut into the cliff sides... no evidence in most cases of pounding or chisels... perfectly square cuts...
This is another problem....
Posted in my other thread... Aswan quarry... scoop marks... can't be done by pounding with a rock... as you've stated you've been there... the demonstration makes a lot of dust... you would pound away for years, which apparently has been happening with the demonstration rocks... you still won't get scoop marks like that....
Heres a better video...

Which ones? Where, exactly?

And this... shows a clear separation between the stone work of the people that lived in the area at the side... and well... lasers lol

You're telling me these were made by chisels and or pounding with a rock?
theres more when i find them
So where is this and who did it? Inquiring minds want to know.
