No this can't be lifted using any of our technologies or might.

It also can't be pushed or dragged without building (at least) a concrete flooring.

The stone in this photo is from Baalbak, Lebanon. This stone is estimated to weigh at least 100 tons and is 100 times the weight of a typical stone on any of the pyramids of Giza and Saqqara.

That is not accurate, there are multiple granite beams in the kings chamber that are in excess of 100 tons.

That stone in Lebanon is over 1200 tons.

We could lift it using some of the highest capacity cranes in the world now but it would be a massive undertaking.

Difficult, but not impossible with todays technology. To me the takeaway here is that we are just now getting to the point where we can move some of these stones yet clearly they were doing it back in the day. The question is how, it certainly wasn’t horse hair ropes and slaves I know that much lol.
