Interesting. I have a good friend who is a civil engineer. His theory is that the pyramids were simply an ancient form of concrete poured in place. This is the best explanation for the complexity and ridiculously tight tolerances, including how close the stones are to each other. Time turned the ancient concrete into what appears to be solid rock.

Hard to explain the quarrying and hard to pour granite used in the interior:)

Great points - clearly - granite wasn't poured. It had to be installed. The quarrying on the other hand depends on the stone they were pulling out of the quarry... Big slabs or a lot of smaller stone used in cement. After a few thousand years of hardening, a quarry of small stones and sand in the past may appear to be solid rock today.
Best wishes.
