I could agree with that statement more than being carved with copper tools... but, it still doesn't add up.
If they poured it, they still are going to have to transport objects far to heavy.
Plus the perfectly level chambers to the (1 mm) and the Air shafts on the 45 degree angles.
I bet you couldn't find my a single piece of architecture in the world that in to the 1mm straight. Its just unheard of. If it was poured the would be major variations.
And to have the shafts on the 45 angle, they would have to have pre-fabricate molds and would have to strategically place every rock so it matches up. and to get those shafts perfectly level... impossible.

There's no evidence that suggests that Aliens didn't built those pyramids!!
So they most likely did!

A bit of exaggeration there Indigo!
Most of the 2.3 million blocks were of Limstone and weighed in the region of 2/3 tonnes.........the granite slabs in the King's Chamber were much heavier though.
Still an astonishing feat by man.
But your calculations are off by some way Indigo

Yes but my specific response was to Indigo calculation of how long it would take to build the pyramids based on 2.3 million 40 ton slabs.
The average weight of the slabs has been estimated between 2-3 tonnes.......so even though there were some granite slabs in the Kings chamber in excess of 40 tons..........Indigo's calculations would STILL be out by a country mile.
How they managed to get the larger slabs in place is still hotly debated.........although ET involvement seems more unlikely than the other theories out there.
Just because we find it hard to achieve something today with modern equipment doesn't mean it must have been "impossible" for the Egyptians.
Modern man has been condition to rely on modern machinery and equipment.........If tomorrow a huge solar flare rendered the whole of the Western world's electricity disrupted and everyone was forced into the jungles of the world to get food and water.........who would stand a better chance of survival........primitive hunter gatherers......or modern day man?
There would be many "skills" that primitive hunters could teach modern man........so who knows what "skills" the ancient Egyptians had that could still be a revelation to modern day man.
If it was ET that helped then how come the Egyptians didn't make any mention of them or the techniques used by MR ET?

The Egyptians were far from being cavemen and the quarry wasn't 100's of miles away. there were different quarries for different stones with the main quarry conveniently located at Giza.

Oh right LOL
There just a neatly stacked pile of rocks, yet you're impressed by them? sure they are, there more accurate then any structure on the planet, thats quite some stacking after cutting with copper tools

To help along civilization...the same reason you're government goes to Africa & build schools

There is plenty of proof this was not only very possible, they have uncovered most of the methods to create the structures. It was done over a very long period indeed.. some surmise up to 50 years. And it was a national project of sorts - people volunteered to be involved.
Consider that the Egyptians, like many other cultures (like the supposed all-knowing Mayans), were very religious minded. What they did in their lives was more to prepare for afterlife than anything. If aliens had come down and built pyramids, we'd see not just a few scribbles.. we'd see entire works of art dedicated to the "gods" who helped build these structures. Not an anomalous red blob on a floor in a hidden chamber - we'd see stuff on all temple walls, etc. No.. I think this was a completely human endeavor.
