Such vids claim them to be more like 12000yrs old and that modern archeology has failed us in telling the truth out of plain stupidity but also a desire to keep the truth hidden.
Some of these vids also lay claim to the fact that the Egyptians were not the constructors of these pyriamids but a far more ancient people as technologically progressive as we are today constructed them until the 'deluge' [biblical] struck and that this is prove that Darwin's theory of evolution is quite wrong.
These vids question the fact that they were made by men using pounding stones and small copper tools with which to shape and lift huge blocks of granite some weighing over 2 hundred even 400 tons in weight and cite the fact that some of the heiroglyphs have images of airplanes, tanks, helicopter like technology there's also the 'schist disk'.
They also record how the granite looks to have been cut using high tech grinding and cutting devices not unlike the way a modern stone mason today would make use of in order to cut and shape and move around massive blocks of concrete?
Also it is stated that 20 years to build the largest pyrimid would be taken using todays modern methods of high technology any less a few thousands labourers pushing and grunting up tons of stones up to a height of 500 feet with just a few flimsy ropes or twine and some wooden slats!
They cite how it once took a modern building firm 2 weeks and a specially modified and built lorry-truck to manhandle a 7 ton granite rock [because no crane or truck was able to perform this maneuver], from of a new york major public building to be transported a mere 20 miles!

What do you think of these unusual conjectures?

I think it's BS. Been to the pyramids a couple times. If you have ever been there, it's obvious they are made of limestone....any sandgroper would know immediately. Not granite. In fact the ancient egyptians used GRANITE hammers to shape the limestone. Being limestone it was far lighter than granite - but still a hard slog. But when you have an almost unlimited number of slaves to haul the blocks...does it matter?

Pyramid Construction

Good try though.....
