Most of these theories are thrown with no desire to understand, and that's in part because martians built the pyramids as geo markers for landing on the planet.

I think limestone is heavy, crushed and mixed with water it gets even heavier, but you would have to wait a few months or more for the 1-2 ton blocks to cure before pouring another 2 ton block on top of it. Interesting how the Egyptians got it right in every case, no mistakes, absolutely perfect every time they poured a block of limestone, and they were so careful to align the forms perfectly, amazing. Then of course the natural salt in the crushed limestone will exit as the water evaporates during the cure and you will have salt deposits all over the block, they will mostly collect and erode the stone on the horizontal joints due to gravity, very cool flaky white stuff. Nobody builds with cement without installing reinforcement, even an 18 inch pad for a single story house requires a 1.5 - 2 month cure, its reinforced with steel rebar, and still it cracks and exudes salts. Moreover, somehow all the other pyramids built in Egypt would certainly have utilized the revolutionary method of using forms to pour limestone blocks atop previously poured limestone blocks, its cheaper, faster, the crews get to play with water, and everyone gets time off to smoke cigarettes while allowing the freshly poured to blocks cure, come to think of it all the temples, mastabas, sarcophaguses, enclosures... everything would certainly have benefitted from such an advanced process of building. Why even the pottery was poured too, probably no reason to cut stone ever again, you could just pour it like a milkshake into any form you needed. Alas, no evidence in three thousands years of history means it's bunk or the best kept secret from the Egyptians themselves.
