That's true. I think if you're talking about Stonehenge in the middle of a field, you may be able to move a large slab if you have a fulcrum stone that's big enough. But how would you even go about putting the slab on the fulcrum stone to begin with?
Maybe something like the see-saw method could work - you pile a few rocks under one end to elevate it, then pile some more under the middle until you start lifting the entire thing off the ground. Once it's high enough, you place a fulcrum rock that's big enough so the softness of the ground doesn't matter.
This guy was using wooden boards, but some of the things he did with them (e.g. the handle of the lever he used to turn things around) could be accomplished with ropes, which I gather would be less tech-intensive.
