We do not know what sort of technique they used during that time because the methods are lost to us. However, this does not mean that humans are incapable of achievements. Moreover, we still do not know the extend of their knowledge in architecture. Also, there were numerous attempts in building pyramids showing that they were trying new ideas from time to time(for example the Bent pyramid and the red pyramid). I think it is a pity not giving the ancient Egyptians the credit they deserve for building such magnificent structures.
You based on an assumption that Egyptian definitely build it because it's located at Egypt.
Is it true? Nobody knows as it's full of mystery.
At the moment, there is no successful attempt to build a pyramid using current technological.
Also, Pumapunku site is the most interesting because scientist has confirm that the stone cutting is similar to diamond cutting. Many people speculate that ancient peoples uses stone but that method would not shape a nice cutting stone.
Bottom line, we can only guess all the ancient mega structures is build with alien technology.
If use metal, the metal will rot through time
If use plastic, the plastic is not strong enough to build structures
If use organics, the substance can't withstand strong weathers
however using stone, it can last a very very long time
The question that we are asking about ancient civilization is similar to us asking "Can monkey build a a simple wooden house?"
