Really, it's kinda creepy if you think about it. It's proven that even to this day to build a structure that huge and complex out would be a mass challenge with our modern technology these days that they didn't have before. I won't say my theory yet, please tell me your ideas.

The strong faith and believe of the people who used to live in that region. Historians say egyptiens, but believe me, egyptiens these days are not the same as the old egyptiens!!!!....
So i doubt its from the same transendence, the same blood...you know what i mean!
Proof of sarcofagus of the workers...
My other theory is Aliens, xtraterrestrial cosmic power who helped the people to build!
Proof of maya pyramid...(another mystery)
its frustrating to go inside it though! Clostrophobic dark and tiny walking spaces!!!!

Most likely the Pharaoh employed a large work force, but for only a fraction of the year. During the months of July, August, September and October, the Nile River flooded the land. This was actually a blessing for the Egyptian farmers as it allowed new fertile soil to be laid down over the fields. But it meant the farmers were unable to grow crops during this period. It is likely that the Pharaoh required his subjects to work on public projects, like the pyramids, during this season.
Egyptian records indicate that the laborers, while being drafted against their will, were actually well cared for by ancient standards.
The shape of the pyramid are the logical one for producing buildings of great height when the building material available is stone. The design mimics the natural geometry of a mountain, an incline of about 52 degrees. The Egyptian architects realized the ever widening base would easily support the increasing number of stone blocks above it making the structure very stable.
The most likely method of getting the blocks to the top of the structure was through massive construction ramps. Exactly how the ramps were laid out is unknown, but they may have been straight or in a spiral pattern around the pyramid.
It is also possible that the blocks may have been moved by rollers.
In any case, it is still an amazing human feat.

Well although they did not have modern technoligies in ancient Egypt they did have slave labor they could work to death, and they also had a large amount of skilled labor. I believe that humans living in any time are capable of preforming amazing tasks. And the fact that the building of the pyramids is documented in a number of hyroglifs I believe they did it without supernatural or alien help.

they have had cable specials that show how the Egyptians constructed their pyramids. What is amazing is how precise they were with such crude tools and that they are still that precise today. They are repairing them the same way they were built in ancient egypt long ago.

the egyptians had hundreds of thousands of slaves that moved the big stones. Usually it took a pharoahs full time as king to build one. as much as 30 years

many people died in the making of the pyramids. it is believed that people long ago were really big and tall. and with that, the man power involved for such work is reasonable.
