Might be easier to make a pyramid by cutting material away than by quarrying and piling. The Bosnian pyramid idea is still possible. Does it line up with the cardinal directions? That would be a requirement.

I believe the first pyramid was the Gaza Pyramid (possibly built by Enoch with the help of God). All the surviving people (Noah and his family) knew about it and when mankind spread out through the world they always remembered it and tried to imitate it. In Egypt they imitated the Gaza Pyramid at first crudely and then by trying to build ever more sophisticated imitations. Of course the Gaza was awesome in it's starkness and simplicity and future imitators added all kinds of flourishes in the pyramids that they had built to promote their own selves and their false religions.
