The quite miraculous parts are:
1. Move the 3 million rocks weighing 2 tons apiece.
2. Stack the rocks so the 4 edges of the pyramids are straight AND meet at the apex
3. Do so before the pharaoh dies.
The most miraculous part is they solved these problem even though these problems are both very difficult AND so subtle that some idiot born 5000 years later would still fail completely to grasp their magnitude.
Moving 3 million big ass rocks does not sound miraculous but fucking impractical.
The building itself is very simple it just takes a lot of effort.
