Of course the Egyptians had the help of aliens in building the pyramids, because the world as a whole obviously only gets stupider as you go back in time. It couldn't POSSIBLY be that the Egyptians were one of the most advanced civilizations of their time and are really only a mystery because invaders and general bad luck wantonly destroyed most of their written knowledge.

Nah, couldn't be that, had to be aliens.

But seriously, give ancient civilizations more credit. A lot of them were geniuses for figuring out the things they did with the technology available at the time. To me, it's not really that much of a stretch to say that the Egyptians had no supernatural help with building any of their monuments.

The Ancient Egyptians did developed the pyramids with no help from any other life form. As you stated these are monuments for their leaders. Remember the Ancient Egyptians were a very advanced civilization for their time, just like the Mayans and their great advancements in astrology.

Like I said, a lot of their knowledge that was written down was destroyed by various catastrophies (the most notable being the fire at the Library of Alexandria) and invasions. Without this knowledge being previously available, society had to regain that knowledge from scratch. In my opinion, mankind would be even more advanced now if the Egyptians were able to pass down most if not all of their research and knowledge to modern man.


Can I ask where you got that information? Men descending from the heavens seems believeable enough given Egyptian mythology, but I haven't ever heard of anything showing spacecraft.

Isn't it obvious? The Pyramids were built by the Goa'uld.

But seriously. It could have been possible for the Egyptians to create a special way of cutting the rock from quarries (perfectly), and then transporting them across the desert. It wouldn't take milenia to do that. They had to be innovative to build the Pyramids, and I'm sure that there were a few geniuses around then.

Of course, what would I know?

I think that there was something mystical about all the ancient cultures. Take Sumer for instance, the first real civilization to ever be built and rise then fall. The one place in the inter ancient world I would want to see would be Babylon. I would die to go there when the hanging gardens were at there peak!! Oh just the thought of it makes me all giddy inside. LOL Anyway I really just look beyond what our "modern textbooks" try to shovel into our heads. I don't need them telling me how our relgion is wrong...

Well, to be honest I learned this info from a show that was on Discovery a year or so back called "Ancient Aliens". Now, I will admit that I am not sure how accurate that documentary was, but it went in depth on the theory of "ancient astronauts".

I found the theory on a website for you to read and judge for yourself.

Someone's been watching too much Stargate.. not that that's a bad thing.

The Ancient Egyptians were smart; really, REALLY smart. They did amazing things given their level of technology. Of course, they also thought the brain was a worthless chunk of stuff that took up the space in your head; whoops.

And, finally..

Although they are impressive structures, how they were built isn't exactly a mystery.

I had a crazy thought that Pyramids werent actually built like that at first and actually fell to be like that because of some inner structure being pyramid shaped. When sandstorms hit in Egyptian times, the wind crumbled the structures away to the foundation of a pyramid.

Mainly as it was my dream last night but bleh.

I truely think that the Egyptians used more than 10% of their brain power like some of us do according to some random person/people.
