Do you think aliens buildt the pyramids in egypt?

I saw this on Conspiracies on Tech TV. It is an interesting topic because most of the old paintings and everything show the vehicles we call flying saucers. I don't know. The Egyptians probably found the schematics left behind and built them. No one knows for sure of course. :D
 
Those are some really great conspiracies, because it seems pretty messed up if the egyptians had figured this out all by themselves. But then again, why are there mummies which are likely to be dead humans inside of the pyramids? Well, maybe the aliens look just like us, who knows?
 
I may be wrong but I think the jewish people built them. I mean they where in egypt for a wile if i remember correctly.
 
Well, I do know that certain designs on the walls of tombs have turned out to be diagrams and schematics for a very strange sort of lightbulb. Anyone else seen that?

Yeah, they've talked about that, but I didn't really see anything strange inside Cheops when I was there...
 
What a complete load of bollox lol ..... fun read tho :)
 
Naw... I don't belive that aliens did it...
 
ehh...no i think maybe the egyptians actually did the work themselves, considering it took them 30-40 years to complete each pyramid, and those scientists only worked on their one for a month or so....COINCIDENCE???????
 
im sure the lemmings built the pyramids... ;)

well, bad joke. i heard alot of stuff about those theories, hum, well. why not? i mean, there is no evidence against these theories, but also no real evidence to proove it.. we'll never know :p
 
i've seen methods scientists have developed that didn't use a compass to align the pyramid...it involved the sun and shadows...and their method was about as accurate as the pyramid...a few minutes off.

and if aliens built it, why would they be off at all? wouldn't they be incredibly precise? or are the aliens conspiring to hide their hand to future humans?

Had the Egyptians done this, since this occurs only on the day of the winter solstice, they would have had to have known the exact length of a year.
IS THAT LIKELY???
Click to expand...

he offers no proof (except lots of all-caps sentences) that the egyptians didn't know about the solstices...so all those arguments are bunk.

as far as all the constellation stuff...it's interesting, but i'm sure the water erosion thing has been studied and disproven. and he's misinformed about the chronological order of the pyramids being built...the giza pyramids were of course built after the other pyramids...you can see the egyptians' learning process as you look at them chronologically...with the giza pyramids being last.

and coming from a guy that likes to use lots of "IS THAT LIKELY???" in his arguments...all the stuff at the end could be false...hell...i'm not gonna bother checking all those numbers and facts....

==================

i'm not saying aliens didn't build the pyramids...but scientists and archaeologists have been trying to figure out how the egyptians could've built the pyramids...and i've watched several shows full of people trying to prove that they could've done it, and several shows full of people trying to prove there's no way the egyptians could've done it....and i lean towards the "they could've done it" side. especially since there is anthropological evidence...grave sites where workers were buried...egyptian records about how many people were in the work gangs...they had names for the sizes of the work gangs...it was almost military in nature, and records were kept....there's more, but i didn't *just* watch the shows, so i don't remember all the details of course :\
 
Why would aliens let the humans build some crappy pyramids first? Some of the older ones were very poorly constructed, not alien at all. It was just a learning process, trial and error. And Giza was their final masterpiece. The thought about aliens is too far fetched.
 
Lol... We've already found most of the tools used to build pyramids (hell, even a theory on how to do it so fast and easily (well fairly) with those bigass stones)... Besides, his info lacks some rather important parts. Like the fact they werent idiots. That they actually knew the lenght of a year. Secondly the argument about the compass is just insane. All you need is a certain star (which incidently isnt in the same spot today, so the pyramid is off) and a string and some tedius measurements.

other Pyramids, which were supposedly built about 500 years later, all have shoddy masonry, and are crumbling down. An example of this is the famous 'bent' pyramid, which started out with the sides being built at one angle, then suddenly shifts in the middle to a shallower angle.

If I recall correctly, that aint even true. That pyramid was built before, not after. And he forgot to mention that this "shoddy" pyramid in particular has the most intact outer casing (the flat stones) of *all* the pyramids.

Its pretty hilarious to read actually :)
 
Yeah, the so called "bent pyramid" was in fact a failed attempt prior to the other ones. The soil it was built upon and the original angle were incorrect and the plan had to be changed.
We now doubt that slave labor (including Hebrew slaves) built the pyramids themselves, as theres more to support it having been entirely done by the Egyptians.
 
Is it so hard to believe humans can actually achieve great things? Has humanity become so cynical that its stopped believing in itsself? Is the ball point pen really that amazing?

Find out next week on 'It came from John Titor'


Seriously though, we can achieve great things if we put our minds to it.


Some people say "Oh we arent clever enough to invent something such as velcro"

Well i say we superimpose our own problems on other people.
 
I'll admit i built the pyramids. sorrry. I was bored so I spun in a circle and went back in time and used my magic butter to grease the super monkey and he built the pyramids.
 
first off...the Egyptions were INCREDIBLY advanced. They built them, no doubt.

the arguments for the leangth of the year are rediculous, the greeks had the year down right to the leap year! I see no reason why the Egyptions wouldn't either.

Egyptions? Sounds like aliens to me!!! :p

Seriously though, people writing articles like that underestimate ancient civilisations.... And the bad part is of course that not many of the "wonders" or architechural skills of the ancient world are standing today (ie nearly none, the pyramids are a rare exception). So they where even more advanced than we think even if we dont underestimate them :)
 
If you put a large pole in the ground the shadow cast by the sun will make a whole circle in a day. I think that is what they used, and some other stuff with the stars.

That pole have to have been given by aliens!!! No way they had something that advanced!!!!! PROOF! :eek:
 
I had a teacher once that believed the whole alien bit... and he'd bring it up from time to time... it was actually pretty interesting.

I'm more with the theory that they were, in fact, pretty advanced and were able to do that stuff on their own, though. :p
 
Obviously people back then weren’t smart enough to build stone triangles :dozey:

I don't know if it was the Mayans, the Aztecs or the Incas but one of them had the year so precise that they didn't need a leap year. All three were incrediably advanced also, too bad Europeans had to come and kill them all with their disease and guns.

Yeah they didnt even call them triangles, they called them pyramids...stupid Egyptions.
 
The main objection these types keep putting up is the claim that there's too many work hours involved for the ancient Egyptians to have built the pyramids. Which has always given me the impression that the 'scientists' (quote marks deliberately intended as a complete sign of disrespect) who keep pushing the "It musta bin aliens!!!" theory have never done a serious days work in their lives.

What we considered hard work today (40 hours a week, max.; most of which is spent on lunchbreaks, or emailing, or chatting up secretaries/general gossiping at the water cooler) is nothing compared to ages past. Peasants in the middle ages used to go out into frozen fields (in thin easily waterlogged shoes) and spend 12+ hours a day cultivating mouldy vegetables to survive on. As late as 1930s people would go do 12-hour shifts in the coal mines/factories of industrial England to earn enough dosh to barely subsist on. Doubtless the bronze-age egyptians would have been the same. Life was work back then.

The ancient Egyptians worked on the pyramids during the seasons of the year they weren't in the fields growing enough food to feed themselves. There are chiseled graffitios on the walls of the quarries they hauled the stone from giving the names of the work gangs involved and boasting of their accomplishments: "Hapsephut's Heroes have carved 5 blocks this week!" etc. There were no slaves involved, esp. not Jewish slaves as claimed in the OT -- they were never in Egypt according to the archeological work being done up and down the nile: no traces of any hebrew, or even proto-hebrew, culture/pottery/etc., at all.

It still took them the good part of 40 years as mentioned above. Each new Pharoah that came in started construction on his pyramid at once, even ripping up his predecessor's work to get his own done. Later Pharoahs couldn't afford the things and were interred in tombs in the Valley of Kings instead (Ramses II among them; another of the OT's false claims).
 
I think alot of those conspiracy theorists believe it couldn't have been humans because of just how much in the way of engineering and innovation would have been required, along with simply getting the idea to do it.

However when you consider that back in those times those in the higher parts of society had sometimes all 24/7 free time with almost nothing to defeat boredom, that this often resulted in people getting into mathematics and just simply thinking about anything from religion to philosophy to how to build a gigantic structure made of rock.

It was from their they decided to start building they pyramids. No aliens were required to build it for us, or to give us the idea and the technology. Human beings did it all.
 
although humans build pyramids..it is possible that the actualt design of a pyramid is based on an extraterrestrial design. it may be that the life that seeded earth was done so on pyramid shaped ships, and thus this got passed down through generations and the resultatant children decided to use a pyramid as the burial place of their kings. you'll see the same kind of inheritance of ideas on red dwarf, where lister's cat evolves into 'cat' and all the rest of the garbage he spouts. interesting idea.
 
Its a simple design. Its a giant staircase. Lay the floor down and keep going up. To get the larger pieces up to the top they used some sort of pully system. To get them out of the quary they lifted them out with a pully and used round marbles the size up bowling balls or bigger and slid them over to the pyramid.

or

Aliens have magic pyramid beam.

They used helicopters, its obvious.
 
I heard somewhere that the Egyptians aligned the pyramids based on the locations of certain stars in the sky. I do think that the Egyptians got a bit of "help" from someone/something else.

lol...they definitely did not use pulleys

Actually they think they rolled them... Somewhere they found small attachment you put on square stones to form two wheels at the end. Could have easily been employed on larger stones (and yes it was tested and found it WAAAAAAY faster than pulling). On flat terrain you can easily see the advantage of rolling the stone, once you start, you could almost run with it!!!

The only reason why pyramids were built (by the Egyptians, Maya's and Inca's and so on) was because it's the only way they had to build a tall building. A tower that high (so just straight up) would collapse with the techniques they had. So a pyramid was the only way to build up and that's the reason why it's used.
So no extraterrestrial design, just the easiest way to make high buildings.

Lol... Yeah, I remember one part of his discoveries in particular: They found an "dead accurate" (which wasnt, but that's another matter) stone statue of a skeleton. The immidiete reaction was apparently "OMFG!?!?!!!!! THEY HAD XRAY IN THE PAST, HOW ELSE COULD THE SCULPTER KNOW HUMAN ANATOMY?!?!?!!!!11!1". Makes you wonder what's going on in that head... I mean, its not *that* hard to:
A) Find a skeleton.
B) Kill someone and carve em up
But nooooooooo... it had to be:
C) Use X-ray technology to see the inside of a living human.
 
I love in the linked article that the author uses "almost exactly" so many times.
 
Someone in an aeroplane saw a pyramid in Tibet once. Metallic with a flashing top.
