First, GP claimed it couldn't be done even with machines.

First, what work, building pyramids? Because people have definitely built shit by hand in your lifetime, I can assure you.
Second, why would we do things the slower, more expensive, and more dangerous way, if we don't have to? You don't get your nonsense delivered to your readers by runners, riders, or messenger pigeons, that doesn't mean they didn't exist.
But if you want an example of human hard work in the modern era, look no further than Dashrath Manjhi. Dude hammered and chiseled his way through an entire ridge over more than 20 years.
