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?

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.
