LOL! Quite amusing when you put it that way

My fave theory is that the pyramids were built by bricks made in place from the regolith in the area.
The regolith was mixed with (a little) water inside a wooden box with an open top, compacted and then left to dry for a few days in the desert heat and then the box was dismantled leaving the huge "brick" in place.
I've actually seen a demo on google vids or youtube somewhere, it was very convincing and seemed to be a realistic theory. The only problem is the large granite roof stones inside some of the chambers....
