Since no one else has been willing to touch this question, I may as well.

To begin with, we have to start with a couple rather HUGE suppositions:

  • Aliens exist (we have no evidence)
  • Aliens have come to earth (only anecdotal evidence)
  • Aliens enjoy atypical architecture (sure, why not)
  • Aliens did in fact build the pyramids

Once we accept those suppositions, its a trivial matter of making a few more: The aliens that came to earth had either anti gravity beams (or tractor beams) or were telekinetic and threw them together in an afternoon at which point, people came in and decorated.

PERSONALLY,

I think the more interesting question is how did PEOPLE build the pyramids. There's been a pervasive argument that people could not have constructed something so mathematically precise, moved such large stones cut from a quarry miles away and then pushed them into position. And, at face value, I couldn't do it either, so the logic makes a bit of sense.

However, we now know from written records that the Nile river was actually diverted to create streams which allowed the rocks to be boated up the quarry rather easily from the quarry in which they were cut for at least the Great Pyramid at Cheops's. Its not unreasonable to assume they did it for the others as well.

We also know that given a long enough lever, a single person could feasibly move a 2-3 ton stone into position. Given a little bit of time, a few extra people (like the couple thousand who are recorded as having worked on the pyramids) and shorter levers, its quite feasible that the stones could have been pushed into position fairly effectively with VERY primitive equipment.

We also now know that Egyptians actually had forms of calculus, extremely complex mathematics, and were able to do very difficult calculations without a mechanical device. Granted, we only have bits and pieces of what remains of cuneiform tablets and a few papyrus reeds, but the essentials are there.

Finally, based off empirical studies and computer models, we have now proven that the rather large army that the egyptians had on hand could have indeed built the pyramids in a couple decades, possibly faster.

Now don't get me wrong. I understand the appeal of aliens. I understand why we like to imagine that they had some sort of role in our past, and its true, there are records which may indicate that aliens HAVE visited earth.

But I think its insulting to us a species, and to the builders themselves, to write it off as impossible. Time and again the human race has proven its capacity to do remarkable things. This one just took a bit more planning. :P

Why did the build pyramids?

On the lighter side Some say that the aliens built the pyramids so that they could have a convenient landing pad for their ships, which are pyramid shaped also. (I guess the aliens must have cones for heads) Another theory is that the pyramids were part of a driving course to teach young aliens how to fly those flying saucers. I personally think that the pyramids were built so that the aliens could work on aiming their lasers properly so that they could subjugate the humans, who would then be forced to make cheese for the aliens.(Aliens don't have cows like the ones here on earth) One theory, which doesn't make sense at all, is that humans built the pyramids to bury their dead. actually there is evidence that aliens did build pyramids, look at the related links

How did pyramids build up?

Aliens did it. I know they build pyramids by aliens. Recent study shows that NASA almost got proof that they might find extra terrestrial lives in other solar system near by us. They know that there must be aliens in the space somewhere. There are plenty of water and any other chemicals to build up organic substance easily by hitting the lightening electricity in the space, Mars and others. There are lots of planets like earth in the space. Aliens put many things to planets, just like the face stone on Mars.


Did people build the pyrimads or aliens?

The Pyramids were constructed by the Ancient Egyptians. That is to say, regular people built them with hand tools and very hard work.
