Wait, did the Goa'uld create the pyramids themselves using their fancy space magic advanced technology, or were their enslaved humans actually the ones who did the dirty work?
In the movie, I think it is established that humans enslaved by Ra built the pyramids both on Earth and on Abydos. SG-1 probably leaves it there but opens the possibility to Unas or Jaffa as well.
Carl Sagan co-wrote a paper about what we would expect to find if there had been aliens in the ancient past. Erik von Danniken took this and added a bunch of racism to create Chariots of the Gods.
Carl Sagan, to his credit, was regretful for writing the paper and sparking this ridiculousness.

Do you really see the Goa'uld doing any hard labor themselves? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moebius_(Stargate_SG-1)

Good point! I think you're right. Although the idea of building them and their design would still have been made by non humans
