we are the most intelligent species on this planet but that’s because we compete against octopuses and cats. we are dumb. and if we give birth to AGI, even if it wipes humanity out, that will be our greatest achievement.

Chill out.
I think the answer is simple : They used 300k slaves from Sub Saharan Africa.
10,000 slaves with ropes, pulleys and levers can lift a massive stone 20-50 stories into place.
Modern civilizations don't use humans in this massive way and have not seen a need to
build machines to do this type of work.

Pyramid structures around the world :
Many ancient cultures built pyramids across the globe, including in Egypt, Mesopotamia (Sumerians, Babylonians, Assyrians), Mesoamerica (Maya, Aztec, Olmec), Sudan (Nubians), and others in regions like China, India, Indonesia, Cambodia, and parts of Europe. While the specific designs and purposes varied, the widespread occurrence suggests a common architectural solution for building large, stable structures.
