link Not definitive, but it checks all the boxes. Build a ramp out of the pyramid itself, use it to haul stuff up the sides, and then fill in the ramp when you're done, working your way back down. Brilliant! |

I like the hypothesis that they poured the stuff around it using molds etc. Why not?
Every theory is looking at convincing people who have no idea.
I know nothing, but I have mixed Sacrete in a wheelbarrow. So, 👍🍺🍺🍺
Works for me. |

That mysterious Coral Castle in FL was made out of coral concrete. The huge blocks have mold forms visible in the sides (and I'm betting the larger 'stones' are hollow, making them lighter & easier to move) as well as 'puddling' consistent with poured concrete (some people claim it's because he melted the stones {rolls eyes} ) |
