It is reasonable to expect that when stones are placed vertically, one on top of the other, those higher up will compress against those lower down so that, overtime, the stones would "settle" and become so tight-fitting that even a hair cannot be passed between any two stones. So much for the stones placed vertically!

But how does one explain the tight-fittingness of any two stones in a horizontal row of stones on the surface of the pyramid? What is the source of the compression force, if there be any? Mind you, here we are not dealing with arc/curves and keystones.
