Archaeological context
UCL Digital Egypt discusses the organization of pyramid construction and proposed methods, with references to stone-building research. It provides a route into archaeological study.
Reconstructions are explanations
A proposed construction sequence should be distinguished from a directly preserved record of every building step. Competing methods can be evaluated without treating a reconstruction as an observed event.
What would test an alternative?
An alternative builder claim needs evidence that distinguishes it from human construction. Difficulty or an unanswered engineering detail alone cannot make that distinction.
