The “official” story behind these sites is that stones were either picked up off the ground in these shapes, then fitted together, with maybe some light polishing by pumice or other soft stones.
In some cases (Egypt) the official narrative is that these stones were “rough hewn” from a quarry (with copper tools that came from MICHIGAN ore deposits), then somehow (???) smoothed and shaped with a precision practically unheard of in even modern construction. All by a culture that had never invented the wheel, apparently.
Clearly, humanity has risen to extreme heights in the past that we have trouble imagining (and duplicating) today.
Best documentary I’ve ever seen on the holes in the mainstream story of the Pyramids and their worldwide significance
First time I've heard of Michigan copper in the old world, looks like an interesting rabbit hole to explore. Transatlantic trade secrets being lost in the bronze age collapse is definitely very possible.
It is a really interesting rabbit hole - i first came across it in, iirc, Hancock’s Fingerprints of the Gods and it helped tie together a few things that seemed anomalous but disconnected, like the level of sophistication seen in prehistoric America (the Mound Builders, South American pyramids with surrounding populations plausibly in the millions despite having all but vanished into barbaric cannibalistic remnants by the time Europeans show up), the common building patterns (e.g. megaliths, PSM, and pyramids) showing up around the globe, and so on. Hell, it even ties together with the Book of Mormon of all things lol!

“prehistoric” Michigan Copper found in a Mediterranean shipwreck
What wiped them out? Probably the 26,000 year cyclical catastrophe:
