Trust them or not, but Forbes did a piece on how this stuff was moved and where it was quarried from. Based on it, it sounds like the original pyramids fell apart and slowly but surely they figured out what was necessary to make a long standing structure. It just so happened to require all kinds of stone from various places, and they depicted showing how these things were moved.
I've been to Meidum, the partially collapsed pyramid mentioned in the article. What they don't mention is that it and the mastabas are built on much, much, MUCH older megalithic structures underneath. I've also been to quarry in Aswan and it has this mind-bogglingly gigantic 1400 ton half-excavated granite obelisk with what seems like large scoop marks where it was being dug out. The official timeline and expalantions are full of these inconsistencies that don't hold up to scrutiny once you start looking.
If you're curious and don't mind longhand research videos, UnchartedX on YouTube does a phenomenal job of delving into these topics of ancient history/tech in Egypt and Peru. Nothing beats seeing these first-hand, though.
Fair enough on being condescending, I apologize.
