No amount of hunger allows for slaves to move a 1200 ton granite block with horse hair ropes.
Then magic or aliens?
Evidence would point towards higher levels of technology than egyptologists claim. I don’t think you need magic or aliens to explain what was done there.

If there would exist incredible technologies aliens or magic would be required to hide it afterwards
That’s not true, look at how much things deteriorate after just 100 years. Anything made of metal 5000+ years ago would be dust by now. The only thing that lasts that long is stone. No amount of slaves with chisels will make marks like this in granite. It requires a circular saw. I’m not claiming crystal powered space ships here. I’m claiming that whoever built the pyramids were more advanced than the AJ cent Egyptians were. https://image.nostr.build/97c9ef47154712603556fbdc3a12f966b35e63e71a75086ba5a54e020106ae6a.jpg
