Oh! Oh! Oh!
Maybe they were EXTRUDED!!!
In 100,000 years people will marvel that the entire outside of the Great Pyramid was fused into a glaze and wonder how it was done...
The idea was to have a quarry where stone was broken into reasonable sizes, nothing much bigger than a volleyball more or less, hauled to the build site in wagons by elephants or whatever, dumped into formers, and then whatever mortar they were using poured into the formers to fill out the space. That’s how they got the unreal tight fits. I mean if you think about it, trying to carve blocks at the quarry would waste 2/3 of the material if it could be done at all which is doubtful. That would be if you only needed five or ten such stones; no way in hell is anybody going to produce millions of perfectly carved stones that way.
That is why Egypt is a desert, they burned all the trees to make lime cement.
