Not a lot of plausibility there.

I get that some of the blocks above the king's chamber were large. But physics still applies. You can't turn gravity off. You can lift a block up a ramp. if you need to life it higher, you need a longer ramp, but there's no limit to how high you can get them that way until you run out of sand.

Geomagnetic reversals don't cause huge tidal waves. They mean that the protection from cosmic rays is reduced briefly and you get some climatic disruption. But there's many geomagnetic reversals that we know about, this paper details 93 of them. Global life on land isn't drowned.

of course to lower the large stones in the pyramid, the shorter the ramp needs to be ] https://i.pinimg.com/originals/31/f0/24/31f024a80fdf408c90b2205f1ba80c26.jpg

at about half the height (including some within part of the builtup pyramid structure itself )...

and consider that these special stones could have some extra effort put into lifting them than the other 2 million-odd stones
