personally , i don’t see how it is realistic for us mere humans to be capable of hauling and placing those large rectangular stone “bricks” . Even with the usage of wheels , how did they arrange those “bricks” near perfectly without any mechanical assistance?

History channel, I think, did a special on this several years ago. It’s all about appropriate use of levers and pulleys, and other basic force multiplying equipment. Here’s a clip from YouTube: https://youtu.be/E5pZ7uR6v8c
There very much was mechanical assistance, but it was ancient tech. They used ramps, rollers, pulleys, etc. Oh and slaves….lots and lots of slaves….like more than you can imagine

Ramps made of earth. Basically they would build hills up the sides of the pyramid that made it easier to get the stone blocks up here. Combine that with logs to roll the stones on and a good number of slaves to provide force it’s not that difficult to move large stones.
