I've never heard of it. Where did this come from d-fendr?

I believe, among other places..

"The book of Job shows God talking with Job about the creation. God is saying to Job: "Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?" There is the implication here that Job had directed the building of some very great edifice -- such as the great pyramid of Giza in Egypt. Job was righteous and somewhat proud of his accomplishments. God was whittling him down to humility by a comparison of accomplishments."
Did God Create a Devil? by Herbert W. Armstrong
"Some authorities believe that Job was the architect and director of the building of the Great Pyramid-still today the largest building on earth, and prior to the construction of the Woolworth building the tallest. That Job was proud of his righteousness is plain. That he also might have been puffed up over constructing the worlds greatest building clears up much that God says now to him."

Not really, it's speculation and is pretty clearly identified as such. It makes sense in the context of God's response to Job, but I wouldn't hold it as gospel truth.
