Lets also not forget that they were built by trial and error. There was also a lengthy evolutionary process in their design and construction. Whether you're talking about the pyramid types which evolved as their experience grew or the simple, undisputed fact that the first step pyramids all fared poorly and collapsed.
It's not like they woke up one day and on a whim decided to build the massive pyramids that still exist today.. they worked up to that over centuries of trial and error.
