Probably the reason you aren't allowed to fly a drone at Giza.

To quote Zahi Hawass, "It's highly stupid," he said via a spokesman. "The pyramids are made from solid blocks of quarried limestone. To suggest otherwise is idiotic and insulting."

This looks like they are excavating clay or the limestone? Even in recent centuries, limestone is burned to make the old lime mortar. No additives were added to make it hydraulic.
Unlike today, this mortar could be kept for days underwater without it curing.

Just something I noticed.
The name of the thread!
"Bricks in the Egyptian Pyramid: where from? "
Bricks note, Bricks
And if one looks at the OP photographs one does indeed see BRICKS in a pyramid, fancy that.

Bricks can be made of anything other than the usual fired clay, but I'm referring to the 20 tonne blocks which are just big bricks.
Everyone presumes those huge pieces are quarried stone.
Under the pretence of giant poured non-hydraulic self levelling concrete blocks -- poured insitu, the pyramids would have taken one hundredth of the time; maybe much, much less.
Even the Sphinx could be sculptured while the ancient concrete was drying, much like the Indonesians do to make their pots look like sculptured stone with chisel, which they are not.

Fine I rather gathered that was your mission, so to speak but the OP was specifically referring to BRICKS as in the small 'normal' size bricks!
If you have anything other than your assertions please take the time and effort to put a thread together of your own.

They are both one and the same. Just a smaller version. More than likely the same material.

"Underpinning" and remediation. Ill leave you to it.

Have you been to Egypt and established this for yourself?
