The pyramids were highly skilled building projects that involved a lot of work from highly skilled people like architects, engineers, mathematicians, you name it! It was an evolutionary process that took centuries to perfect.

The pyramids were not the work of ancient aliens, and Homer was incorrect in saying that the pyramids were built by 100,000 people, and the bible doesn't ever directly mention the pyramids when discussing the enslavement of the Israelites.
