To start a conspiracy theory thread about the pyramids?

[Gardener82]

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.

My money is on lizards.

Expect it was Persimmon.

Can you tell us more…

my husband believes it was Aliens.

Been watching Stargate, has he?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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).

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?

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

Re: 1 - wouldn’t that depend on how long it took?

But why aliens? None of that means it is aliens

My husband is a HR manager.
He likes watching random alien crap on YouTube.
I wanted to gage whether there were others out there who believe in some of the conspiracy theories.
It’s supposed to be lighthearted.
I am not an expert, I don’t give it much thought.

FFS.

I have lost faith in humanity - who the fuck can believe such utter shite?

Is this the documentary narrated by Brian cox?

I get it is light-hearted but it still makes no sense, there is no proof it is aliens but he beleives there is somewhere out there with creatures with enough brains to arrive on earth and decide to buid pyramids and we dont know where they are now?

People believe the earth is flat doesn't make it flat

So your husband doesn't believe it's possible thst some humans on our planet were capable of building the pyramids but that Aliens from out of space did it and that's more plausible?

Blimey. Bit of an overreaction there.

I disagree.
