Why is it such a mystery?

We know exactly who built them, and when.
The Egyptians kept very good records in almost all of their dynasties -- there are records detailing how many workers were employed on the pyramids (and how many were slaves), how much grain they used per week, when they were started, when they were finished, etc.

Don't fall for the weird stories saying they were built by aliens or any other such nonsense for which there is no evidence -- their history is very well documented.

There are several theories on who built them but I'm not sure anyone knows for sure who built them. Personally, I don't think they were built by the Egyptians, I think they built by the Atlantians, people of Atlantis. I think they were used as beacons, with a large sun powered lens of bright glass of some sort mounted on the top of them. Shining downward onto the angled sides of the pyramids the light would reflect outwards, parallel with the ground in all four directions. For what purpose these beacons served one can only surmise. The pyramids in Egypt, Bosnia and Central America could have been the boundaries of the Atlanian empire. The early Egyptians, in my opinion, found the pyramids after Atlantis fell, and claimed them as their own, even trying to copy them, (step pyramid), but failed.

After years of research, I think I can safely conclude it was the ancient Egyptians who built them, ordered by the Pharaohs.

About 2,550 B.C., King Khufu, the second pharaoh of the fourth dynasty, commissioned the building of his tomb at Giza.

I think the general belief is that it was done by the paid labor of Egyptian citizens. It is not believed to have been slave labor. But it was considered an honor to get to work on them. They probably spent their entire adult life on one. Ruins of an ancient village is near by believed to have been there for the workers.

They are discovering now that Kufu and the Egyptians bldg. the pyramids is wrong. Fallen angels is more like it.
