ELI5: What is actually so amazing about the pyramids, and is their construction well understood?

I see so much stuff around "well the Egyptians couldn't have possibly built them with those tools therefor aliens/awesome science/ other conspiracies". Whilst the are spectacular and visually amazing, I dont understand what it so difficult about there construction outside of the raw physical labor side of things.

Any insights on this would be cool, no anecdotes or opinions if possible; im looking for something objective, a journal or something.

No, you've got it right. There's nothing specifically miraculous about their construction, beyond the enormous focus of a society's resources on a single project. The architectural and logistical elements are impressive, but nothing that would have been conceptually unusual. It's just that they actually followed through.

To some extent - we obviously have the technical ability to build perfect replicas now, but we don't, still, because of how much sheer manpower the task involves. That doesn't make it impossible, but it does make it remarkable.
