The Isralites enslaved by Pharaoh and other slaves did.

I built the pyramids.

Fun fact: they weren’t built by slaves. They were build by farmers in the off season and skilled workers, paid with beer and food.

There’s really no reason to doubt that the Egyptians built their own pyramids. They certainly tried a lot of times before they got the math right. People seem to weirdly not notice all the older ones that gradually get better before they built the ones in Giza. If it was aliens, why did they need so much practice? Conquered interstellar faster than light travel but couldn’t pile rocks in a triangle?

Just because white people didn’t make it doesn’t mean its aliens.

Aliens came to earth to learn how to build pyramids from the Egyptians.

Lazy-ass Egyptians. There are pyramids in Mexico, too. No one’s questioning who built those.

I just like the idea that Aliens did come to visit earth during that time, but then when they saw the Ancient egyptians were building they vot so afraid and immediately left.

Notice how when a culture of brown people build grand monuments to gods, it’s aliens.
But when Rome, Greece, or Norse people build grand structures it’s not questioned…

We all know they’re actually landing sites for alien space ships.

Imagine first contact and a bunch of chuds keep insisting they build the pyramid and the aliens are so exasperated with saying “no” over and over

This is always hilarious to me.
Historians: “We don’t know how ancient Egyptians built the pyramids”
Reality: “There are multiple ways it could have been done, but we just don’t know which one was used.”
What conspiracy theorists heard: “It shouldn’t have been possible.”

I’ll never understand why some people think ancient humans couldn’t take stacking a big pile of rocks to the aesthetic extreme when they had thousands of years to learn how to do it.

The Mexicans definitely build their pyramids

I think it was Knowing Better on youtube that pointed out how most ‘Ancient Aliens’ style conspiracies are entirely built around “This is impossible for brown people to have accomplished because they are brown and therefor inferior”. This is why most Ancient Alien’s style theories are based around Native Americans (especially in south america), Egypt, Iraq, India, and Lebanon. There are extremely rare instances they stray outside of that, Usually only being Stone henge or occasional greek folklore.

I think you can be skeptical and curious at the same time. There are only like 120 pyramids and there are mostly just the 3 that have perplexed people for all of history. I would rather give more credence to the capabilities of ancient civilizations than take away, and doubt our ability to even perceive alien existence. But on some level it’s kinda like asking, do fish know they’re in water, or do ant colonies realize they’re in an ant farm?
This shit around the pyramids construction is just racism, I’m not elaborating

Man if you don’t think *some* slaves were used in the making of the pyramid, I got a bridge to sell. If you think it was all just cooperative work as you’re a funny funny guy.

Conspiracy theorist: it is too advance! No human could ever build pyramids!
Meanwhile pyramids: a pile of rocks built with the cheapest possible material around
I know that pyramids are one of the greatest architectural things ever, but come on any skyscraper should be more demanding in sense of resources and technology than pyramids

It’s also pushing a racist narrative. The whole “aliens built the pyramids” is a narrative in which assumes African civilizations like Egypt couldn’t built amazing societies on their own, that they weren’t advanced to run societies. This is what generally is referred to savages/barbarians. It allows racism to spew into African civilizations, in which the black man cannot make a civilization unless there was a more technologically advanced race to properly civilize them and give them the society they could never built themselves. This in turn is what Destiny Manifest was and still is.

The alien crap really is rather insulting to the builders of the pyramids. It almost feels like saying Egyptians were too stupid to understand engineering. Personally, I think their work is something that we should all take pride in, a legacy for all mankind and a reminder that our ancient forebears were as smart as anyone today and capable of achieving incredible things, despite the much more limited technological capabilities and mathematical knowledge of the time.
