I don't believe in alien help
I believe it was all human, but we are definitely missing a big part of the process.

I always cringe when I read these sorts of things.
Why is it that people are so willing to think that humans aren't capable of amazing things. Especially considering these amazing things were done with hundreds of thousands of slaves, if not millions.
I think the whole Aliens helped us build all the big stuff is just an easy way to make us all think we are stupid and inept.
And I can't imagine why they'd have used such advanced tools for some projects and not for others.

I don't get why they'd carve images of stonemasons using stonemasons' tools but not carve images of alien visitors helping them?!
Major failure in logic there

Hiya, i often hear these claims but never seem to see genuine evidence.
Can you demonstrate the 100th of an inch surface variation?
And what does "dead centre of geographical earth" mean? Where is the dead centre of a sphere, or it's surface (or an oblate spheroid if we're going there)?
Where is the dead centre of the Equator? It's a continuous line.
I didn't mean dead center of the equator but that the equator runs dead through it
Although Piazzi Smyth may not have been the first European to suggest that the Giza complex had been built for a particular reason, he was the first person to bring the idea to the scientific forum. He concluded that Giza was deliberately placed both on the 30th parallel and at the centre of the old-world continents as a geodetic marker for the ancient world-meridian.
The separation of other sacred sites from this location by exact units of degrees and geometry, supports this claim.

If they had such advanced tools, why did they choose to build with rock? Why didn't they build things with advanced metal alloys and plastics?

Well, that requires a number of things they didn't have, such as high-temperature refining techniques.
But just thinking about what they had, my question always comes back to, "If they were so advanced, why didn't they standardize the block sizes?" Makes things so much easier.
