They didn’t lift them. They built dirt ramps and then used moving ability (labor) to build each layer. Then they built up the dirt ramps for another layer and so on. Once done they simply moved the dirt away. Some of the stones were moved by boat. They built canals to get them right to the pyramids.
Fair enough
But how did they cut the stone?
Some of the stones wrap around corners. We are talking about granite. You are telling me they planned these cuts hundreds of miles away at the quarry?
We are told they “cut” these stones at the quarry with pounding stones lol

First, that’s Khafre’s Valley Temple - a much smaller structure than the pyramids.
Second, I believe the common theory is that those stones (and most of the wall faces in the temple) were cut flat after they were set. Basically they would have built the wall then cut everything back to a smooth surface - which would also explain how the corner joints were created.
