I'll agree on the why. But the how isn't really a mystery.

Placing about one block every 3 minutes is easy to explain?

Egyptologists have long claimed that the pyramids were the tombs of the Egyptian pharaohs. Since 1997-1998, we have the evidence that defends it.

From the article you linked.

None of the things you linked say anything about the time frame for construction.

This one says 27 years, and gangs of 100k labourers. 2.3 million blocks, totalling 6 million tonnes. 5.5 million tonnes of limestone, 8k tonnes of granite, and 500k tonnes of mortar.

By this, density of some local limestone is between 2250kg/m and 2700kg/m, a tonnes is 1000kg. This is a difficult size to manage, but with log rollers, and 100k workers, 27 years is absolutely doable.
