The inability to use the fast wheel in pottery-making doesn't preclude building stone structures of the types of the pyramids. The ancient Arabians in the Iron Age also had no knowledge of the fast wheel, but they built incredibly precise stone structures - like Mahram Bilqis, for example.

Are you suggesting that the Old Kingdom Egyptians were unable to construct the Pyramids because they had not discovered the wheel? Are you suggesting that wheels are the only method for moving the stone blocks that can work?
