You're right, no human being stacks rocks like this.

It is amazing to me how these people call the ancient Egyptians primitive.
Although they may be considered primitive by today's technological standards, they were very, very smart and accomplished tremendous things with very little resource.
They were not primitive intellectually. They were smart, capable and intelligent people.
Two more points I'd like to address about the cutting of these rocks number one archaeologists replicated the way these rocks would be cut with technology they would have during the time that these rocks were cut. Number two. They would drag the rocks. They dragged the rocks.
Oh, and constructions like the Great pyramids would often take generations to complete and these weren't done in a couple of years these things took decades if not more.
Also the current theory is, get ready for it...they used boats. They flooded the area the Pyramids were being built and just floated them in on barges. With water.
'Beyond human thinking' my ass.
I don't think that's "the current theory".
I think you might be talking about digging canals. It's conceivable that a canal would be built to take the rocks to the construction site. Just recently however we've found evidence of a tributary of the nile that flowed past the sites of a number of pyramids.
I've read tributary as trebuchet first and was equally impressed and confused for a moment.
Just launching them to the top with extreme precision so they land right into their spot.
