To date, researchers are unable to explain how the structure and hardly ever will be able to do it.
The stone blocks that built the pyramids weigh two tons each, and even with modern technology and construction equipment of such facilities would be difficult to do. This has led some to believe that the pyramids were built by aliens. However, there is no evidence that the creators were not earthlings. Excavations have revealed evidence that about 100 thousand men built the pyramids with their hands.

Not only is this an outrageous statement is blatant nonsense.
