I was watching a show on Tubi or Freevee and they had 5, 10, 15 ton blocks that claimed had evidence of being cast on site. This actually made a lot of sense when looking at the precision gaps between slabs that were consistent slab after slab after slab. The slabs were almost too smooth than which occurs in nature, reflected materials from a quarry miles away but the final blocks were sligthly different in composition.

Was described as similar to aerated concrete but much more dense. Edges were rounded and appeared like dough that had risen.

The Egyptions possibly used graduated ramps but the higher you go the thinner the theory gets with giant multi-sided triangles.

As Maverick stated "one of lifes mysteries".

That video above has similar blocks with high precision for masonry.
