The last time I checked, there isn't any evidence of anyone building the GPs, let alone mankind. As far as I can tell, not a single human has taken any firsthand credit for the design or construction of any OK pyramid, or has even reported being an eyewitness to such construction. Of course, that "mankind built the GPs" is the obvious assumption, but I'd love to see you cite the definitive evidence that makes you "sure".
