I have seen this speculation before on FR, a few years ago. It would be a much easier explanation than hauling those humongous blocks in those humongous numbers from far away then raising them into place. If it finally turns out to be correct.

According to Barrack Hussein Obama’s pastor, they were cut with high speed diamond wet saws then lapped to a mirror finish, transported to the job site where stationary and mobile cranes hoisted them into place.

And still couldn't make drawings depicting people in 3D.

That's because in ancient times, the world still only had 2 dimensions. That's why they all said the world was flat. All modern species of cartoon characters are descended from this time period. The Earth later evolved the 3rd dimension because everything was getting a little too crowded.

It was during this era that humans and cartoon characters diverged from their common ancestors. Humans retained their vestigial fifth fingers.

Are you sure, absolutely sure, that Al Gore didn’t create the third dimension shortly before he invented the internet and global warming/cooling/whatever?

The basic pyramid blocks had to have been poured; way too much work and you’d waste more than half the available stone material otherwise.

Ok, cut and moved OR cast in place they STILL had to move
a billion TONS of mass into position.

At the rate of 400 blocks or 800 tons or more a day of limestone aggregate and assorted water and chemicals still pretty incredible.

I don’t think we have the answer yet.

Sorry not a billion tons but ten million tons or so.
Still amazing.
