Who made the pyramids?

The ancient Egyptians were the first culture to create Pyramids. The "Great" Pyramid of Khufu in Giza, Egypt is the largest of their pyramids that is still intact today. Some scientist have a theory on how could of the egyptians made it. They claim that because each block of stone made from the pyramids weigh about 50-70 tons! They also say that if they did make it how do they build it and make it identical to all other pyramids. 50-70 tons is very very heavy so they couldn't have built it and they did not have machines in the past. To add more to it even if they had the machines the machines can't carry that much of a weigh.
