They landed, said "let's build some huge triangles for shits and giggles" and then they fucked off.
3000 years ago they were already 1000 years old.
This is a repost from a 1000 years ago.
This was around the time the Memeluk Sultanate ruled Egypt, yeah?
Now they only visit occasionally for surprise proctology exams.
They're only checking if our civilization is still at the talking-out-of-our-asses stage.
"it's a little warm for October" - aliens probably
The "great wonders" of this world typically derive from some form of slavery/exploitation.
Not really. The people who built the pyramids ate better than the average Egyptian given the archeological record and were skilled laborers with no evidence for slave labor being involved.
Additionally, the ways in which Egypt handled captives from battles was quite different from what we think of for the African slave trade.
Captives were treated quite well with the intention of replacing allegiance to their homeland to allegiance to Egypt, which does seem to have worked out fairly well, with things like Ramses II's personal bodyguard by the battle of Kadesh being the Sherden peoples.
Even stories of giving foreign peoples designed plots of land ownership within Egypt.
A number of the tales regarding conflict with captured peoples are structured around the claim that a new Pharoh came along and kicked out the foreigners from Egypt or invalidated land claims which pissed them off so much they came back to fight against Egypt.
The much harsher picture of Egypt was not the capture of foreign slaves, but the classism inherent to retainers with abhorrent practices like retainer sacrifices at the death of the person they served - later replaced with a symbolic alternative in dolls representing the retainers. And this was more like personal assistants and people waiting on the individual. Skilled labor was far too valuable to treat poorly or kill off, particularly during the periods of most aggressive construction.
Oh so our ancestors real name was alien?
I mean... Who else!
Goa'ulds
+1 for Star Gate reference!
Kree!
Aliens hate white people. Everyone else got incredible temples, statues and monuments from them. The whites only got anal probes.
one of my all time favorites right here. 99% of pseudo-archeology/ancient aliens stuff is just this
aaah - she's taking a photo. I was wondering what she was shoving in her face. The bottom part is already an ancient pic in itself.
Nice try.
Everyone knows they were built using ancient trading cards.
Life is fair somehow. I'm sure that future Alien archeologists will imply our extinction to some unclear natural phenomenon, because
" No civilization would be so stupid to do all of that to themselves"
I lolz
Fifty years later "Fred who?"
The real elephant-in-the-room is that wypipo tech comes from aliens
wp have existed for almost 4000 years, but only went ahead of the rest of the world in the last 400
Tesla was undebatably of alien origin, you simply need to look at his face. All of earth's history is just extraterrestrial proxy wars, and we can barely even perceive, much less understand, the tools they use to fight them
Sooo ... How did they do it? Not with ramps. Not with triangular cranes. Not with aliens, so much is for sure, but how? Tell me.
Why couldn't it have been ramps?
They actually don't really know how they did it, there are the voices that say ramps would've been so enormous that they wouldn't have been practical in a realistic sense: https://www.cheops-pyramide.ch/khufu-pyramid/pyramid-theories.html There are supporters of the lever theory, even several different methods depending on the progress of the construction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_pyramid_construction_techniques?wprov=sfla1 But as I understand it as a complete layman ( my only qualification would be that my ex girlfriend was an egyptoligist) that the more they examine it, the more voices raise against a solely ramp method. The old egyptian were highly pragmatic & efficient, so I've heard, and the stones were gigantic, sand ramps are at least partly unpredictable & sand is not the stiffest construction material - sooo, I don't really know & as far as I know, science doesn't either, at least no exhaustive answer. So far

Wet sand, along with pulleys and lots and lots of man power, and using the Nile to float stones from upstream to the building site. More complicated than that, but yeah.
