The inner chambers are constructed of precisely cut and fitted blocks of a different material than the outer structure. Some of the heaviest blocks are surrounding these inner chambers. Some are set at odd angles, not flat, nor parallel to the blocks of the surrounding structure.

That, and the outer blocks are laid as we do on many modern day brick walls, wherein the blocks on the next layer up are centered on the gaps between the blocks on the next layer down.

Additionally, there are no deposits of these various materials to be found locally. These materials were transported some distance. One would expect to fins similar, untouched "mountains" nearby, but we do not. Not even the same substrate.
