They did not use machines or wheel barrels so I would say many workers (aka slaves or servants) would move the blocks

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"The Maya did not use the wheel nor draft animals, so they transported the building materials using person-power from the quarries to the building site," Tulane Professor of Linguistics and Anthropology Judith Maxwell said of the Maya method for transporting heavy materials. Large building blocks were rolled on logs.
