Lets take this a step at a time. Preface, i think you REALLY need to read some anthropological literature on pyramids because most of what you're saying is wrong.
This is just largely false, the terrain from quarry to pyramid site was indeed flat as it is still today flat. That is the reason that quarry sites in egypt are much farther away from the pyramid sites than say in Maya culture where the terrain is far from flat. Mayans would have had alot more trouble transporting big blocks than the eqyptians, which is one reason their stones are smaller on average.
Not only were their trees within the Egyptian territory but the Egyptians at the time were well established in trading of the day and well above the curve of agricultural prowess. Making logs the least of their concerns.
here you're aplying your ideas of western architecture incorrectly, stone masons back then could make near perfect blocks of stone without advanced tools or writing, the architects of the day were very similar. If you follow the evolution of the Eqyptian pyramids with Giza as the apex you can see that different ages of pyramids evolved in design and corrected former pyramids mistakes. These corrections begin at ground level. So there was likely a guild of builders in charge of many generations of pharoah's pyramids. teaching the next generation the ins and outs. If there were schematics however they would not have been saved. The pyramids were means as final resting places and any schematic would make plundering that pyramid easy.
umm what? both the egyptian and mayan pyramids ARE covered in the names of the rulers who built them, to suggest otherwise is just misinformed.
This is again nothing but an extension of the kids shows you watched on egypt where they convinced you that the construction of the pyramids is some great mystery yet to be solved. That is of course false, the process has been explained and replicated for a long time. Study up on it and youll find there is little that is unexplained by modern anthropologists.
Watching ancient aliens or some other bullcrap. Guy says they make stones of perfect right angles. Holds a square up to the stone. The gap is insanely obvious on every stone.
Says the rocks are too hard to be carved by ancient man. Complains the stones are being destroyed by teenagers throwing rocks and other crap at them.
List goes on and on
