Not sure what you just said, but according to the aforementioned physics teacher people have absolutely brought beer money, recruited a bunch of guys, and had them move giant rocks around in a manner consistent with the non-crazy theory of pyramid construction. (I guess the brand of beer used might count as “modern technology,” and perhaps the quarry tools, but I doubt the rest of it did.) You don’t, in fact, need to build a full pyramid to refute crackpot claims.
