  So an interesting theory I ran across was a shell was built first and the pyramid was actually built starting from the top. This would explain why they were so precise.

    Since we’re sharing pyramid theories I saw one recently hypothesizing that for the first step pyramid they used a system of hydraulics to lift the blocks up a shaft in the center

  They couldn’t start from the top with that attitude.

    I was just going to say. Ofc it would be possible. You would just need a massive fork lift
