Romans had concrete because of the catacombs. The only location on the Planet. Despite of glass not being Roman and invented earlier.
The problem is the narrative after the reformation, where history was brutally rewritten into Rome invented everything. No prior recording and any other recording was either destroyed, or kept locked away by Rome. With the insertion of CE, BCE, it meant Rome are the modern keepers of the narrative. So they invented everything like concrete, iron, and Jesus, CE. Everything else before is otherwise monkeys, or has no valid recording. If it's not in Latin, it was in another language, and you better check the Latin first. Because it has to fit into the Roman dates of an established and inserted 5 thousand years previous. An assumption that there was nothing but the primate neanderthals, who suddenly out of the blue made the pyramids. Of course they had 5 thousand years of mashing rock's together. But forget all about them, Rome buried them, because there was no other civilised civilization, and that's because they didn't have Christ, or Iron, and definitely no concrete either.
Ironic, no but it's been that case. 5 thousand years BCE, forget almost completely about anything else, because they invented, inserting the stone age. How did they build those pyramids without Roman iron? They banged each other over the head, no, well they had bronze wheels, and it can be done if you bang a few more heads together with Roman iron providing the modern timeline where it recorded the stone age. But there's definitely no concrete in the stone age.
So many people and recordings have questioned this. But it's a case of where did civilised civilization begin. With Christ of course. Prior it's almost all of a strict 5 thousand previous. Where it needed some origin, like the wheel, the stones, and the monkeys inventing them. Any writing of course is Latin and Greek, otherwise it's more rock art, and begs a Latin inscription.
limestone is calcium carbonate, or chalk. When dissolved and mixed with ash products like lye, it forms quick lime and you can use that to make something like portland cement which is a base material in concrete.
However, granite is a silicate and it's not dissolvable in water.
Well the Romans were contemporary with them and they definitely had concrete. Egyptology is a pseudoscience intended to prop up some sort of narrative
The pyramids were ancient already by the time Caesar was banging Cleopatra.

Having the materials be molded instead of carved makes a lot of sense. It can explain the close fits between blocks.
The concrete pumps were epic
Hey mon, we don't need no pumps when we gots da slave laboor ta carry eet up da ramp.
If they did this with limestone could they do it with granite? Machu pichu
Not likely, for this reason:
limestone is calcium carbonate, or chalk. When dissolved and mixed with ash products like lye, it forms quick lime and you can use that to make something like portland cement which is a base material in concrete.
However, granite is a silicate and it's not dissolvable in water.
They're all different shapes...
Papyrus used as molds and sand concrete as the blocks.
That's why they are so closely spaced that you can't fit a paper between them.
No need to move heavy blocks at all.
