    link does not explain how they built with such large stones. Is there a better theory than cyclops?

      The stones aren’t that big. People can move much larger stones with primitive technology - see the Egyptian Pyramids. Sledges and ramps can help move massive stones. The thing is, moving so many stones so far requires a massive and coordinated labor force - something the Myceneans had, but the Greeks of the Homeric Period did not.
