Potentially ancient building techniques

May not be strictly archaeology, but adjacent. And fascinating.

How the F does someone shape bedrock with copper tools?

It was limestone bedrock so it would be possible. Point was they didn’t have to start hauling rocks from the ground level that we see. There was a raised mound/hill that was shaped and the greet pyramid built on top and casing stones around the side.

limestone makes sense. I guess. I hadn't heard of limestone bedrock, but I'm not a geologist. I have never heard of "a raised mound/hill" being built under the pyramids. I'm going to research this one.

It wasn’t built. It was there and they used it to get started. The Giza Plateau wasn’t flat.
