Over the span of 20 years, 2.3 million granite blocks, with an average weight of 2.5 tons, would have to be cut, quarried from hundreds of miles away, and absolutely perfectly placed at a rate of 1 block every 4 and a half minutes.
This is an assumption probably based on carbon dating.
The Pyramids are without a doubt over 1000 years old. It's hard for us to imagine a span of 1000 years. Think 1021 AD, are you familiar at all with that time period?
We have only had the electric light bulb since 1802 (219 years). A lot of progress has been made in those 219 years since the light bulb. We have 2 nanometer microchips and turn-by-turn GPS voice navigation, we can map out and modify DNA. These are amazing things for 219 years.
Egypt is not the oldest place of human stonework. The Pyramid builders were not slaves, construction was commissioned, and guilds bid on the work. They were generally called "stone masons", there were several guilds of stone masons and they don't seem to be from Egypt's own brood (hence the myth that they were "slaves"). The stone masons probably left their home nation, which they helped build, after some falling out as pilgrims much like the story of the American pilgrims goes, coming from from the surrounding cultures or nations like Levant (12k BC)/Mesopotamia(4k BC)/Arabia, and these cultures are amalgamations of other surrounding cultures like Greece/Turkey (Theopetra Cave 130k BC / Gobekli Tepi 12k BC). China has pyramidal structures dating to a Hongshan culture 4.7k BC. Although the stone work at Gobekli Tepi is not as astounding as ancient Egypt, it is nonetheless perfect evidence that humans could do megalithic works long before the Pyramids were built. There is a lot we're "digging up" (mud flood anyone?).
Some people's work to look into - Graham Hancock and Brien Foerster.
Egypt's stonework is amazing no doubt, and well preserved, highly symbolic, and imbue a lot of "encoded" knowledge within them (the mathematical precisions and clever tooling of the stone masons), nothing comes close that's why it's a wonder of the world.
The wheel is not a difficult discovery, any human from any era could figure this out in a few years of observing nature. Tumbling acorns/apples/stones, rolling logs, wheel of Dharma, Ezekiel's wheel, etc. Recall one of Egypt's most revered symbols - the scarab beetle that rolls dung into balls. This is a wheel created by a bug. Egypt had the spoked wheel and the chariot at some point.
