This seems to be about the same as I feel about it. There was a level of pride those people had back then. It took many hundreds of thousands of men to build them. And many, many years.

But the most interesting thought I ever heard about the "conspiracy" went something like this:
The Egyptians were great record keepers. They had a very thorough language and alphabet. That being the case, why - when building the most magnificient structures ever built, and considering the millions of man hours spent on it - would you not record one thing about how it was built? No diagrams, no charts, nothing.

We may never know the truth.
