They likely didn't.

The Egyptians recorded many things, including excuses for missing work, with incredible detail. They never once recorded how they built the pyramids.

Either religious/spiritual/ritualistic reasons prevented them from doing so, or they didn't build them. Either way, they didn't record it and probably didn't speak of it.
