The modern pyramid was built using methods that would scale (add more people pulling and each stone could be larger) and they where fitted as close as the stones in the great pyramids. Not as close as some south american stuctures admittedly.

Would'nt an alien race and/or advanced civilization have known how to build the ceiling of the kings chamber? As I understand it there were apparently flaws in the initial design, a broken 'roof stone' and an ugly kludge for reinforcement.

There is only one Great Pyramid. The others do not approach that one in its perfection and design. And there is no indication that the Little Pyramid approached the Great One in its perfection either.

As far as I have seen the broken lintel occurred after construction perhaps due to earth quake. I never speculated on who built it or why.

While you wonder about the broken part I marvel that the King's Chamber a)never had a body in it; and b)was walled in marble. Paul Horn's flute recording from inside the Kings Chamber are really interesting.
