Most were not necessarily mortarless. Was just on a pyramid kick and the builds did have a mortar like slop of calcite, charcoal, clay, etc ..all which has mostly ablated over time due to erosion and pressure.
That aside, the methodology of the build is still fascinating and arrogantly ayh have decided to assert that Khufu's pyramid build was changed mid way thru and archeologists are leaning too heavily on linearity between planning to finish. Not necessarily conspiracy but gate keeping behavior by egyptologist cunts like Zahi and Lehner.
Look into it some more, the entire justification for attributing the Pyramid to Khufu is a single stone stele that reads more like a shopping list for repairs carried out under his reign than any kind of building dedication. I’d start here:
Ayh have no issue with assigning the pyramids to the periods and pharaohs that most have been given. Same with the mastabas. It is the Sphinx ayh refuse the narrative about. It was clearly modified and repaired for millennias and every egyptologist who claims the head is original -- ayh immediately dismiss as a unreliable narrator.

Well, atleast you’ve got that much figured out
