Now does someone want to venture in how or why places totally remote from each other were able to build pyramids in similar fashions? Why was this knowledge available at one time....then lost for such a long period?

They weren't built in "similar fashions."

Construction methods were strikingly different.

As for the shape, just give any group of toddlers from different parts of the globe a bunch of soup cans or blocks to play with, and they will all build some form of pyramid. If you try to stack things without supports below them, they fall down. If you try to stack things one on top of the other, it works, but if you stack things to any great height they are subject to being toppled easily by external forces, and in any case it's an uninteresting approach. Thus it is natural to stack things in a stable fashion, and the most basic way to approach it is to make each higher layer a little smaller than the level below, like a pyramid.

Episodes of the plague, along with killing millions of people, systematically destroyed almost all cultural knowledge in the large cities of Italy. In fact, at one time Romans forgot what the viaducts were for and thought they were for transporting olive oil. They also forgot such things as the formula for quick setting cement.

I agree with the thinking behind your post, in all likelihood.

But, none are so blind as those who will not see.

And, I do still think the ET's are far from benign--at least the well known ones.

I believe they are part of the end times deception. We shall see.

Thanks.
