Thanks for the background links, the exposed blocks I saw sure didn’t look like concrete to me.. interesting.

one thing to note would be the population of the world in 2000 BC was about 25 million

we underestimate our ancestors. Even without the wheel, they used other ingenious means to move these

not really, pyramid building ended by the end of the Old Kingdom, so by 1700 BC, before Isaac’s sons moved in. The other buildings would have been built (temples etc)

Au contraire — pyramid building continued right on through pharaonic Egypt, ending during the New Kingdom. The Middle Kingdom pyramids reverted to mudbrick, as the pre-4th mastabas had been constructed, with stone sarcophagi. During the New Kingdom pyramid building was much smaller, both brick and stone. Eventually, beginning with the 25th dynasty (Nubian dynasty of Egypt) the practice moved upriver, where it continued in burial practices until the 4th c AD.
