Assuming the ancients had nothing harder than copper or flint tipped picks the material must have been reasonably soft, that being the case the method of cutting out blocks, levering them onto sledges, hauling them up the pyramid, that alone pulling them around corners and then levering them backwards and forwards enabling them to fit them to the adjoining blocks is just not on. The block would have fallen apart even before they left the quarry!
We know the quarry was made up of sedimentary materials, so why do they appear to be "ROCK?"

We need to look no further then the creamy colored material under the rock-like crust where the cubes were removed.

This is what we need to look at not the dark top cover crust.
