Stone can be stacked very high without breaking, but if the stone is stretched across a gap it is vulnerable to break under its own weight in the middle of the gap. So pyramids are basically the only huge structure you can build with stone using basic architectural construction. https://youtu.be/f5gjbC9AuEo
