your missing the point you can't carbon date the stone, it could have been there long before the Egyptians we can only carbon date stuff they put in there not the pyramid themselves
as for a pyramid being easier well try it I bet if you get a set of small bricks you will fing it easier to make straight walls than a pyramid, because of the slope it would be hard to keep up being something similar to the arch its a care balancing of forces and in this case huge forces
