sorry if this has been brought up before.
My question is since oxen were used to pull ploughs as early as 4000BC why whenever we see a recreation of building og the pyramids or stonehenge do we always see the stones being pulled along by teams of men. Surely it would have been a lotquicker and easier to use a team of oxen?
thanks
