I don’t see that that’s necessarily true. Why build a whole pyramid? Why not build a ramp with a steep drop at the end? That also gets you to a high place, with a lot less stone and a lot less effort. Why not build a platform? I think that text just speaks to cynicism and an unwillingness to consider an obvious change in worldview.

For example, in Macchu Picchu there are granite stone blocks of many tons and irregular shapes so precisely shaped and fitted to each other that you can’t slide a piece of paper between them. Granite is really hard stone, difficult to work even with the tools we have today.

In the Museum of Cairo there is an oddly shaped artefact named the Sabu Disk, which is 5000 years old and made by an unknown technique. It too is made of stone, but it looks like a machine part.
