How was Egypt Pyramid Constructed?

Reasonable theories - with yet no proof-  to the Construction of Egypt Pyramids:
. The construction of Egypt pyramids was carried out in layers, where fill was placed around each layer, with reasonable slopes, thus acting as scaffolding for the next layer. Upon completion the fill was excavated, to the original ground level.

. The original material of the construction was clay, and by processing clay, after placing, it reached the solid shaped state.

. The pyramids were constructed much earlier than the era thought, and human beings were much taller then!

. Egypt pyramids were constructed by excavation of the surrounding soil, i.e., the original natural ground level at that place was actually the highest point of the pyramid.

. Are the pyramids what is referred to in the verse " Pharaoh said: "O Chiefs! no god do I know for you but myself: therefore, O Haman! light me a (kiln to bake bricks) out of clay, and build me a lofty palace, that I may mount up to the god of Moses: but as far as I am concerned, I think (Moses) is a liar!"
