You can't.. archaeologists have been looking at this obelisk in Aksum for 75 years, they are MUCH smarter than you mean-spirited google search. They have conceded four facts about this obelisk...
(a) It is probably the single largest piece of carved stone ever made my human hands. Until archaeologists find a larger piece of single, carved granite then it holds the title.
(b) Granite is the hardest material to carve outside of diamond. In fact, we have to currently used modern machined diamond power saws to cut and carve granite. Yet, we don't fully understand how the Ethiopians carved this stone with such intricate detail.
(c) Even with modern technology, this 140 foot piece of solid stone can't be moved without breaking it, yet the Ethiopians moved it 5 miles from where it was quarried.
(d) We have a pretty good idea how smaller obelisks were raised, however, this particular method COULDN'T have possibly raised the fallen obelisk in Aksum, Ethiopia, its just too long and too heavy. If it had been leaned against a ledge and gravity allowed to lift it by removing sand underneath it, the extreme mass would have caused the obelisk to split in two.. However, we know it was raised but also fell. In fact, there are even manuscripts which tell us it fell instantly after it was raised and they have been carbon dated to be from the same period as the obelisk was carved. However these manuscripts don't tell us how it was raised, just that it was and that it fell down.
GOD DIDN'T BUILD THIS. SCIENCE DID.
