Good theorie, but now i wonder how they got the water up. There must be evidence of pump or large amounts of buckets :D

I was wondering too. This video explains in more detail how they used pressure to move the water up

Interesting idea, and maybe one worth investigating further. I've always liked the internal ramp theory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws4O5LOCI68

In the end, lets all at least agree that it was human innovation and not alien technology that built the pyramids.
