A question which has baffled many. I believe they were built by an advanced lost civilisation as study shows that all pyramids around the world are aligned with the stars.
Pyramids were also built by the Mayans but if the Egyptians didn't travel when the pyramids in Egypt were built, then how come some of the symbols they worshipped are the same on nearly all the pyramids around the world?!!

I've read that thet were built with the help of survivors from Atlantis. Thats why you find pyrmids in South America as well as Egypt. The survivors travelled to the land nearest to them. I guess you'd have to believe Atlantis existed to accept this answer...

The techniques used to construct Egypt's pyramids are thought to have initially been developed by trial and error[7], and then further evolved based on local economics, resources, and other considerations, over the thousand year pyramid-building phase of Egyptian civilization. At first, what we now know as pyramids were actually step pyramids, which eventually became more complex by filling the empty steps. This created the sloped sides.
Recently-discovered worker's tombs have shown how pyramids were made and how important workers were: the pyramid workers were paid craftsmen, not slaves, and they had their own city at Giza. Egyptologists also have presented several pieces of evidence showing this, including proof that many laborers worked on the Pyramids during periods of Nile flooding when farming and harvesting were impossible. Contributing to the Pyramid construction was, religiously, a very good deed for them.
During the earliest period, in the Third and Fourth Dynasties, pyramids were constructed wholly of stone. In the Fifth Dynasty the physical scale of pyramids was much reduced, and poor quality limestone replaced granite as the chief building material. In–filling with loose rubble was also used for the first time. This enabled pyramids to be built with fewer resources over much shorter periods.
During the Middle Kingdom pyramid construction techniques changed again. Most pyramids built at this time were little more than mountains of mud brick encased in a veneer of polished limestone.
The materials and methods of construction used in the earliest pyramids have ensured their survival in a generally much better state of preservation than is the case with the pyramid monuments of later pharaohs.

By the Goa'uld.
Okay, I'm kidding. Well, they were built by humans who are smart as we are today, so while they didn't have all the technology, they did have enough to the scholars could figure out the arithmetic, architect, designs, etc. (Certainly the pharaoh could afford them.) They also could afford to bring in lots of cheap labor for the actual building. Then it took a long time to build layer by layer. One idea was ramps were used to to build up, and then the ramps were taken down after the project was done.

No one knows. I have always believed that maybe aliens came down and showed them how to build pyramids.
Either that or the technology has long been lost to mankind.

People are researching on it, although researches still havent found out how such a magnificent structure is built.

The little Egyptian slaves were all coked outta there minds and they used sticks and ropes that they fashioned from camel dug mixed with straw to pull huge perfectly square rocks that had been chiseled by the Greek god Zeus.
Ok only some of that is true.
