With stones as hard as granite and only soft bronze tools to work them that would take a serious amount of time!

As I said, due to the nile flooding time was exactly what they had.
When we say that the pyramids could not be built today what we really mean is that they can't be build quickly today. The really big ones took so long to build that you could start one as a teenager and be a grandparent by the time it was finished.

Given the Big Picture, that similar structures are located around the planet, and are aligned extremely closely with the Great Pyramid complex, the only logical explanation is that whatever role humans might have had in the building of these things (if they had any role at all), they were given great guidance and assistance by others with great technical capabilities.
The Ancient Aliens theory is plausible indeed.

Most of these ancient monuments are made out of 20 ton blocks, or more, which would require immense strength, or heavy machinery, which didn't exist back then, of course.
To me, these were monuments to those of great strength, far beyond human strength, and that's why we cannot replicate them with humans and pulleys, it doesn't work at all.

Nonsense!
Let me pick my, "my human crew", YOU "finance" it? And I (my team), ...will make you an exact replication.
The thing that escapes all the "educated" "scientists" people?... They can't even imagine what real "work" is like. They've never done it. So they do not understand it, or comprehend it...
All they see?... "Is that must've been hard to do".
"How was it done"?
Lazy, "educated" idiots.

Isn't it amazing????!!?!... The things that can be done with, at sword point, a stringline, simple math and some "persuasive leadership"?
By "The Gods and Science"! ....They will wonder about it, for thousands of years!
It doesn't take a "College Degree", to "hand rub" a 90° angle into a rock... Fact is, if it did? It would never happen.

The pyramid builders were skilled laborers and were well paid. They were even given vacation days and even family leave.
We know this because we found clay tablets in the sites that the laborers lived in recording things like their wages and permissions to return home for festivals or religious observances.
They weren't slaves, most were farmers who labored on monuments when the nile was flooded.
