How did they make this tomb. Even ignoring weight factor, what type of saw could they employ to cut it from the block?

Right now companies use diamond wire blades to cut granite and it is not so fast and easy. Can not imagine ancients Egyptians could produce even steel

Also where have they got a granite in this part of Egypt... Aswan query known for having black granite deposits is 600 miles away.
