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

What are geometrical proportions of el castello pyramid?
considering measurements available,upper temple geometric proportions become as follows;for width to height,square root of five;for length to height,two and a three quarter and for length to width,almost one and a one quarter.Pyramid itself has same geometric proportions as khufu pyramid,taking base as two and slant height as square root of five divided by two plus one and a half(golden proportion),so pyramid height becomes square root of latter figure according to angle of pyramid(el castillo)given.
How did the pyramids stand without falling?
The individual stone blocks making them up are quite large and heavy; they're not going to be blown about by the wind.
Perhaps you've read something about the "angle of repose". However, this really only applies to small particulate matter; objects built of larger blocks can have a much steeper angle without falling over (for example, it's possible to make a perfectly vertical stack of bricks). There's no advanced miracle of engineering involved in the slope of the pyramids.
