To start a conspiracy theory thread about the pyramids?

Do you believe the pyramids or The sphinx were built by the ancient Egyptians?
I’m just watching Egypt’s Secret code and Bradley Walsh isn’t accepting this theory, my husband believes it was Aliens.
I don’t know what I think really, please discuss, Share your thoughts.

I do subscribe to the Chariots of the Gods theory yes.

Why my husband thinks it’s aliens..

  1. The weight and size of the blocks that were used were around 10 tonnes. Modern machinery would struggle.
  2. Precision of the stone cuts.
  3. Sculptures in Dolerite and Granite, the symmetry in the carvings wouldn’t have been possible with the tools available.

And your husband is an Egyptologist yes? Or at the very least an archaeologist/historian very familiar with the period? Or is just Dave with a few beers in pontificating about something he knows nothing about?

You can start a thread, certainly, and go full Erik von Daniken but you’ll look as big a tit as the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral (that was actually built by lizards).

I believe the Sphinx are much older and originally had lions heads.

PigeonsandSquirrels · 05/12/2025 23:10

I think they’re the tit covers of an Ancient Madonna (pop star not virgin mother - think >>)

Amblealongside · 05/12/2025 23:09

I think it was the Nephilim.
This is interesting to watch -

BeaRightThere · 05/12/2025 23:09

Go read some actual history instead of watching stupid "documentaries".

PollyBell · 05/12/2025 23:09

So what actual proof is there of said aliens and why do they always have American accents?

Fleur405 · 05/12/2025 23:08

Ah Bradley Walsh that well known Egyptologist….maybe he’s an alien pedalling alien propaganda.

Bananalanacake · 05/12/2025 23:07

They were burial chambers for kings and queens, though I don't know how many.

HonoriaBulstrode · 05/12/2025 23:07

my husband believes it was Aliens.

Been watching Stargate, has he?
