Did they know how to use pulleys and levers back then?

That sentence tells the reader nothing. Delete it.

Archaeologists also say that the stones could’ve been formed during the construction’s process. A mixed of clay and some kind of solution might have been used to form stones.

I assume that the pyramids were built by humans. (There is no evidence to the contrary.) Any mystrery about their construction is due to the absence of written records.

What kind of research did you do?
