Before the 3 Giza Pyramids there were the (at least) 3 attempts to build the first Egyptian pyramids by Snefru..

Actually, more than 3 attempts. There are over 100 pyramids in Egypt, most of them older than the Giza bunch.

Nah, would'nt work. They'd never be able to get enough Hebrew slaves. Oh, that's right you said "with today's technology"

I think if the Hebrews had constructed the Pyramids they would have mentioned quarrying and moving the massive blocks insted of merely making bricks
