All over the world there are giant stone monuments. Almost everyone knows they were created thousands of years ago by ancient man.
But could almost everyone be wrong about the pyramids, Aztec Temples, Stonehenge?
There are a few nagging questions, like why do they seem to appear out of the blue around the same time?
How did the Giza Pyramids attain alignment with true North with an accuracy within 1/10 of a degree?
It’s a mystery that might be solved if you believe aliens influenced our society by providing the information needed to move and erect these massive stone objects.
There is no evidence that aliens built the Egyptian pyramids that is not better in quality or quantity than evidence that the Egyptians built them all by themselves.
Get that?
Evidence that aliens did it = small, not good, mostly (if not all) theoretical
Evidence that people did it = lots of it, high quality, empirical
Now this isn't to say that a big, shiny UFO might not be dug up from under a pyramid someday, but that hasn't happened yet. It may not ever happen.
And it wasn't human beings who built pyramids, it was a society of humans that did it. We've got plans, we've got ancient blueprints, we've got hundreds and hundreds of housing projects near the pyramids where the workers lived. We've got lines of increasingly impressive pyramids being built over a long period of time. The really great pyramids at Giza weren't a first attempt. They were the pinnacle of a long history of Egyptian pyramid building.

It has always pained me a great deal that so many people all over the world are genuinely fascinated by ancient Egypt and yet they are so woefully misinformed by sensationalist media, so-called documentaries based in pseudoscience, and the fantasy world of Hollywood. No other ancient civilization is so universally recognized and yet so thoroughly misunderstood. Sadly, Egyptologists are often so frustrated by this that they want nothing to do with the situation; it’s not just a matter of educating people, it’s completely reeducating them—trying to reverse the damage caused by ‘The Mummy’ and even the Discovery Channel.
People say that since we wouldn’t be able to build pyramids today, that the Egyptians couldn’t have done it, but it’s not just building of the pyramids that couldn’t be replicated today. It’s hard to imagine ever being able to pull together the resources, power, money, skilled craftsmen, and architects needed to build one of the great gothic cathedrals in this day and age. It just couldn’t happen. This isn’t something to be ashamed of though, we simply use different technologies and have different priorities these days. While we couldn’t build another Notre Dame Cathedral or Great Pyramid, modern structures like the Eiffel Tower or the Gherkin wouldn’t have been possible back then either. Pyramids were possible simply because the entire economy, resources, and population of the Egyptian civilization was under the control of a single omnipotent ruler, who could mobilize them all into a monumental building project.
Referring to the alien theory, someone states: ‘It’s the most sensible theory. Why would ancient Egyptians build such monstrosities just to bury their kings?’ Alien theorists say that it’s a mystery why the Egyptians or other ancient people would build such immense monuments. Therefore, it must have been aliens. But why on earth would the aliens want to build these monuments? And on earth? That makes even less sense.
