The granite in the pyramid's inner chambers came from Aswan, roughly 800 km upriver, moved by boat. And since copper cannot cut granite, it was pounded and ground into shape with harder stone over a very long time. The logistics are not a footnote to this story - they are the story.

Still think it needed aliens?
