Interesting…I was aware that the use of irregular polygonally shaped stones made the overall structures more earthquake resistant, but never considered your line of thought, that the structure’s overall shape would be ideal for anchoring it against the presence of massive flows of water (which as im sure you know, the Sphinx enclosure shows indisputable evidence of)
When I first learned about the disaster cycle, the fishing weights and the pyramids were my first thought. I still think the pryamids were a cast in place polymer. It would explain the lack of gaps between the stones because the existing stones would become part of the form for the next pour. Me and my construction background....
To this point... Have you seen the shape of fishing weights for surf fishing? That's right, pryamid. That's why they didn't wash away. Just a thought

So was this cast in place polymer extruded?
No idea. CIP (cast in place) is how concrete is poured.
