Moses was not a good public speaker and was reluctant to do God's bidding.

Moses was a well respected Egyptian, he was even adopted into the Egyptian Royal family.

When reading Exodus with an open mind, it makes more sense to me to think as Moses as a rebellious leader.  He obvioulsy knew how to be a good speaker, he led an army of Hebrews and consulted with the pharoah on many occasions.  Moses also knew the Egyptian terrain, outsmarting the pharoah by moving his followers across a stretch of the Red Sea (or Reed Sea, depending on translation) that is only passable during low tide.

 

I presume then that the tide there is extremely variable considering it drowned the entire Egyptian army!

With regards to pryamids I'm pretty sure we have worked out how they were built, what we don't know is why there is very building thousands of miles away in South America. Also, things like Stonehenge and Easter Island, are still pretty much guesses.
