Answer 1

The false statement is - they were built almost entirely from marble.

The pyramids were not built by marble, they were built by mostly four materials, including pink granite, limestone, basalt, and alabaster. The materials used for their building were mostly transported from other regions, often several hundreds of kilometers away from the building site, and the Nile River was playing a crucial role into their transportation at such a long distances.
