If Hitler won WW2, would we consider him evil and bad? Or would we sing him praises while condemning Churchill to hell?

There's literally tons of it.
We can see the tool marks on the stones, and we can see the quarries, where blocks still remain half-cut, showing the process they used.
There's nothing "magic" involved. Just a lot of smart people working very hard for decades.
While there's some uncertainty about the precise methods used to transport the blocks, it's because there's multiple possibilities, not because we can't figure it out how they could have done it. We've figured out TOO MANY ways they could have done it, and can't pick which was the method they actually used.

Why do we build cathedrals? Why did we carve the faces of US Presidents into a fucking mountainside? Why do we build stadiums that can seat hundreds of thousands of people? Entire cities every 2 years to hold a sporting event (winter/summer Olympics)?
The Pyramids or the Parthenon had important religious and political roles in their times, they were deeply tied to faith and governance, just as more modern cathedrals were (many of which absolutely dwarf pyramids in scale and sheer complexity).
Things like the Coliseum were built for the same reason we build stadiums; entertainment, national pride, competitiveness etc.
That's actually a very interesting topic.
There is almost no way we could know if there were past civilizations living on Earth - in various life forms. Any artifacts they created would have disintegrated from time, leaving literally no evidence.
People argue that the gaseous climate millions/billions of years ago would have prevented life forms for gaining sentience and growth, but who knows how life could have formed.
Yes, there is. We even know what the wages, food and beer rations and medical treatment of the workers were. It wasn't built by magic/aliens or anything, but by paid, skilled labor, a strong centralized government which implemented nation wide price controls and economic planning.
Like i said endus, we cant be friends
I understand there is "evidence" you can put together in your head, but that does not compute for me. Let me make it clear here i am not suggesting some crazy alien thoery no no no, what i am suggesting is something much more. I feel that many many thousands of years ago (far before the pyramids) the world had a greater knowledge of something, possibly a creator. And with that knowledge it is POSSIBLE that we gained a greater understanding of how to harness the energies on this planet.
Personally i believe that energy was sound, because it makes the most sense to me. Sound waves do some crazy stuff just based on how we see it and our understanding of it today. If i am honest i believe the pyramids and other megalithic structures were built with relative ease, not over decades with manpower as you declare. I feel we had a knowledge of how to manipulate some sort of energy on this planet that assisted in building these structures. (again, my guess is something to do with sound).
Obviously ridiculous notion to you, but i would be my life i am closer to truth than what our current "understanding" tells us about our past.

Given that we've found the city the thousands of workers lived in, your claim is objectively and obviously untrue.

Right. You're skipping right past "aliens", and straight to "some magical god-being", and that humans built the pyramids through literal magic.
That's less reasonable than "aliens did it". And you have literally no evidence to back it. You may as well be saying that the pyramids were built by Smurfs to protect themselves from Gargamel. That's as likely as what you're talking about.
Objectively history can't be right,wrong, or indifferent, because it's already come to pass. Applying an adjective, especially a modifier, is subjective in nature. History just IS, or if put into a sentence, history WAS. History is static, history is unmovable. Our interpretation and discovery of history will alter, but the context will remain as is, unalterable.
I mean hell we have evidence that the current "native americans" were not in fact the first settlers here and they make no mention of anyone else before them... because they killed the group that had come here from Pacific Islands after they got here. Baja, CA has skulls that were found that indicate being killed and that they were not of the same Mongolian heritage of the people who crossed Beringea. Oddly enough the native americans are hotly against any notion of this and I think they've demanded the skulls be given to them even though scientific evidence shows they are not of the same ethnic origin.
Point is, yes history is written by the winners, but even a loser has committed the same acts inflicted upon them at some point. I mean hell the atomic bombs dropped on Japan are NOTHING to what Japan had done to the places it conquered during the war. Nobody is innocent.
The story of the Exodus is largely a parable not literal history.
