Story we are all Told About the Pyramids

This is the single story that most people are taught about Egypt and the pyramids.
"...everyone from kings to paupers took great trouble with their tombs: the kings built their pyramids long before they were old men and, as dynasty succeeded dynasty, pyramids became grander, brick giving way to stone" (Tomas, 1979).
There is no mention of the complex knowledge it would have taken to design the pyramids. Nor the great amount of effort it would have taken.
