How did Aliens build the pyramids?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

The ancient Egyptians build the pyramids with their own sweat and blood. We cannot imagine that teams of naked men using primitive tools could actually stack stone into the edifices we see today. The pyramids are the result of hard unrelenting labour unknown to most of us today. Perhaps this is the reason why people believe aliens were responsible.
