Pyramids Made From Concrete

I’m a partial fan of this idea, because it is such a simple solution that anyone can understand. A new set of researchers are backing the idea the Giza pyramids are made from concrete:
A handful of determined materials scientists are carrying out experiments with crushed limestone and natural binding chemicals – stuff that would have been readily available to ancient Egyptians – designed to show that blocks on the upper reaches of the pyramids may have been cast in place from a slurry poured into wooden moulds.
Unanswered are questions like the quarries where the blocks were cut from… why they made such big blocks… how all the other pyramids on Earth were made… The story is also told at the Boston Globe.
.
It baffles me as to why people believe there is something mysterious about the construction of the pyramids, and to answer some of the peoples queries about the logistics of building such a mammoth structure.
1: There was an entire city with crops, farms and housing around the pyramid, so food, effluent and residency etc would not have been a problem.
2: The accuracy and alignment of the pyramid can be found by using a very long piece of string, stones, some stakes and water for leveling.
3: The logistics of moving all the materials to the site, this people is why ancient pyramids took many decades (often more than one/many lifetime/s) to build.
4: Many of the people building the pyramid would have been working with those types of materials their entire life, and would have been taught by people who have learned from a lifetime of experience and so on…
5: Acoustic resonance, the kind of energy required to produce enough "Acoustic resonance" to lift something that heavy is phenomenal, it is totally absurd, look into what these "Scientists" actually are, and you will find they are probably not credible or respected in any circles.
6: The reason our buildings today are not that accurate is because that kind of accuracy is not required, if you need proof of accuracy, take a look at the precision in a jet engine, centrifuge from a nuclear reactor, or high end telescope (Hubble etc).
You will find that +-0.00001 of a millimeter is something common engineers do everyday.
I could go on and on.
This lack of faith in human engineering is insulting to the great engineers of the past 5000 years.
I have never wondered about the fact they may have poured the concrete, I always believed the stones were cut.
It sounds highly likely.
Unconvinced, that primitive Earth man had that much intelligence or human engineering…..without some help from above,.. to build something this massive and magnificant!
