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.

The moon landing was not as much about technology as it was about engineering.

The Moon landing conspiracy couldn't be true.

Why?

One word - cost.

It was worth it to the USA at the time because it was a Cold War supremacy thing, but the cost today would be immense for very little reward. The technology is there now, in use daily with rockets going up to the space station or launching satellites etc., but unless there's some very unexpected discoveries made there isn't really much value in just landing on the moon - little in the way of resources, useless real estate.

Apparently in 60s there were plans for a moon base by 1981, plus. Priorities shifted.

Colonising the moon ahead of Mars might be good as trial run. There are apparently good reasons why not though.

This thread gave me the laugh I needed today op, thanks!

The "moon landings were fake" has been robustly debunked.

I used to work with a guy who was a designer on apollo. He was part of the team that designed flaps that went over the buttons in the space craft. He has his name engraved on a little plaque on a moon lander, along with tens of thousands of other names.

That shows the scale of the project. Something like 2.5% of the entire GDP of the USA went into it, for over 10 years. That's the number one reason it has not been done since. It is massively expensive.

Ok thanks

Hope you don't think I was doing a pile on. Not my intention.

I reckon the "faked moon landings" is probably one of the most debunked conspiracies out there. And for good reasons too I think, because it belittles one of our biggest tech achievements.

Flat earthers though. Mostly harmless. Why would experts waste their time on them.

Anti vaxers, very dangerous. They need expert debunking.

On moon landings, you’re right, of course.

It was really as much/more a feat of astonishing engineering rather than bring only/mainly about tech.

I reckon the "faked moon landings" is probably one of the most debunked conspiracies out there. And for good reasons too I think, because it belittles one of our biggest tech achievements.

If anyone believes in the utter bollocks about faked moon landings, then you can distil their idiocy into realising that they are basically saying the way NASA managed to a mountain was by digging a bigger hole than the mountain to hide it in.

Mind you, I did hear that Princess Diana accidentally saw the stage in the US where they filmed it - and 15 years later she was dead. Coincidence ? No, of course not. it's also utter bollocks. But I guarantee there will be someone out there for whom it's the missing piece.

No not at all.
It was genuine thanks for telling me what you know 🙂

?

I said it was one of the most debunked conspiracies out there.

Are you saying it's not one of the most debunked ?

I have not seen a single moon landing conspiracy idea that has not been totally debunked.

No.
I was just saying thank you for you saying that you hoped I didn't think it was a pile on and for your comment.
That is all

It was the Ancient Egyptians. They kept accounts. They paid people. There are workers villages all over the Valley of the Kings. Proof they were built by who we think they are.
Alien theories are insulting to humanity, I think. The Egyptians probably had a form of electricity and were certainly interested in arcane and occult ideas and the influence of the stars etc on humanity. They also built pyramids (which are not that difficult to build - it's not as if they built Chartres cathedral).
