Did Ancient Aliens Really Build the Pyramids? This Video Has Me Questioning Everything!

In fact, "las vegas" is Spanish for "the meadows".

Whenever I see cases like this I remember a short story I read once about a lazy man that lived on a small village in Mexico or some place like that.
One night, a large boulder got loose from the its place and came rolling down a hill until it stopped against the train track that crossed the village.
On the next morning, when people saw what had happened, they tried to remove the boulder from the tracks, as the train would be back in a couple of days, but it was too heavy. They tried levers, pushing, pulling, but nothing worked, it was too big.
Then the lazy man said that if they all stopped all that noise and gave him a bottle of his favourite drink he would remove the boulder. The people gave him until next morning, when the train would come.
On the next morning, when the people came to see what had happened, the boulder wasn't there, so the train came and life went as normal.
As he had removed the boulder they gave the man his favourite drink, but all wanted to know how he removed the boulder.
After many people insisted he finally told them what he had done: he dug a hole next to the boulder and when the hole got nearer to the boulder it just fell down the hole. Then the man just covered the boulder and removed the excess dirt.

Sometimes things are easier than we think, if we look at them in a different way.
Today we are so used to advanced technology that we forget simpler methods.

A rather dense article on it. It includes a hypothesis for the building process.
Hidden in Plain Sight

This includes two companion articles that offer some speculation on the purpose.
Exothermic Core-Mantle Decoupling – Dzhanibekov Oscillation (ECDO) Theory

That's the press release version anyway. I think Turkey shares sort of the same cultural mentality traits as Egypt, but Egypt definitely has them beat for bureaucratic red tape.

You have to remember how much tourism these places atract, and how much damage people do. They have to find a balance, I agree sometimes it can be a little to keen.

It wasn't paved over, parts of it ware reburied to stop corrosion of the site, you obviously have an interest and can see for yourself how fragile the site is? Don't you think it needs protecting being the earliest example of human civilisation? There's an exact scanned copy built at a site near to Gobekli, and also roots of an orchard nearby will help reduce land slide and corrosion.
Do some research of the actual archeology at the site instead of reading the pesudo-researchers claiming aliens built everything and it's all being covered up.

The walkways aren't supported by paved slabs or footers? K.

They opened an attraction on top of an unfinished dig. The construction obviously planned it that way to control the expansion of the dig, limiting the potential in finding other academic disruptive artifacts.

You can STILL have the same amount of foot traffic by isolating the dig and building a visitors center nearby with scale models, history and some of the finds on display.

Cover-ups do happen and "research" is regularly suppressed for whatever reason, but mostly to protect careers and mainstream academia from reproach.

I'll keep an open mind, you do you.

If you look at the site, the walkways are all around the outside of the dig. It's like the walkways around Stonehenge and archaeology work does still go on. The same as the Giza site.

This is whats been done at the site??

Maybe a link to some evidence to support your claims here would be helpful, but I agree Hawass does like to keep all the 'keys to the store' for himself??

I'll keep an open mind, you do you.

Thats all we can do, but pointing out the myths and pesudo-research does help..

Curious, if those pyramids were built by human beings back then, why not put together a team of volunteers who would complete the task to prove the point? Some rich guy could have finance this.

The answer is none can...how I see it.

Aliens could have build them with no practical purpose except to make them a puzzle to humanity. Tombs were made the case much later by making tunnels and 'rooms' inside the already build stone structure.

If some one knows...were there drawings from those times, where pyramid construction process was depicted? There must be some artistic remnants of such a feat.

I don't know about drawings, but we have records of the people working on the construction, like a kind of logbook from a ship that took limestone to the great pyramid construction.

What ship? To bring the limestone to the site? Never heard about it. May be the 'alien' ship? I'd believe that.)

Another thing I have noticed... Egyptians could not draw 3d images. Although, the constructions should involve some kind of engineering, especially, if tomb rooms were planned before hand as a part of a blueprint. Strange...Those 'cavities' could have been done during construction, and not to carve late into the project. What I mean, the builders did not consider any other feat except for a testament of a puzzle to humenity.

there.

recall that 'God' saws fit to place markers and a sword carrying Angel to keep people from ever entering EDEN...[fact check Bible)
i propose a Sahara desert along with the Spinx along with angel guard keep men from the entry to long lost EDEN

As per lengthy article, I think it is said that to build it took 30 years, the blocks had to be put every 2 or so minutes. Few million of them. I somehow doubt those findings...but it's me...and read this below.

ALIGNED TRUE NORTH: The Great Pyramid is the most accurately aligned structure in existence and faces true north with only 3/60th of a degree of error. The position of the North Pole moves over time and the pyramid was exactly aligned at one time.

CENTER OF LAND MASS: The Great Pyramid is located at the center of the land mass of the earth. The east/west parallel that crosses the most land and the north/south meridian that crosses the most land intersect in two places on the earth, one in the ocean and the other at the Great Pyramid.

The centers of the four sides are indented with an extraordinary degree of precision forming the only 8 sided pyramid; this effect is NOT VISIBLE FROM THE GROUND or from a DISTANCE but only FROM THE AIR, and then only under the proper lighting conditions. This phenomenon is only detectable from the air at DAWN and SUNSET on the spring and autumn EQUINOXES when the sun casts shadows on the pyramid.

The weight of the pyramid is estimated at 5,955,000 tons. Multiplied by 10^8 gives a reasonable estimate of the EARTH'S MASS.

The Descending Passage pointed to the pole star ALPHA DRACONIS, circa 2170-2144 BCE. This was the NORTH STAR at that point in time. No other star has aligned with the passage since then.

The southern shaft in the King’s Chamber pointed to the star Al Nitak (ZETA ORIONIS) in the constellation Orion, circa 2450 BCE The Orion constellation was associated with the Egyptian god Osiris. No other star aligned with this shaft during that time in history.

THE SUN'S RADIUS: Twice the perimeter of the bottom of the granite coffer times 10^8 is the sun’s MEAN RADIUS. [270.45378502 Pyramid Inches* 10^8 = 427,316 miles]

The curvature designed into the faces of the pyramid EXACTLY MATCHES the RADIUS of THE EARTH."

Thanks ArMaP.

Thanks, but I already knew all that.

Getting true North is easy, you just have to mark the position of the rising and setting Sun and find the middle point. Egyptians may not have been great at math, but they were good at geometry, so something like that would be very easy for them, as would be the slight indented sides.

As for the centre of the land mass of the Earth it depends on who's calculation you use, as calculations from 1973 point to Turkey. Also, I seriously doubt the land mass was exactly the same 2000 years BC. For example, Euroasia and North America are moving away from each other at a speed of around 2.5 centimetres per year, which means that in 4000 years they moved 100 metres (if I'm not mistaken). All other continents are also moving.

As far as I'm aware the ancient Egyptians built the Great Pyramid of Giza using skilled labor, wooden sleds, and their own hands, feet, and heads.

With their knowledge of mathematics and astronomy enabling them to calculate the precise measurements and alignments required.

If we look at what we created today, why do people second guess what we did in the past that was also great for its time? I would add ropes and Pullies and more importantly a lot of time.

They also refined their methods through trial and error as is evidenced by the pyramids that came before.

This is the tell tell. Another big point is that no matter how great it is we are still talking only raw stone manipulation. If aliens were here and they helped us to build then why do we not see more advance metals, why did they let people drink from lead cups etc.?

It's to why mainstream archaeologists refuse to consider some of the pseudoscientific and ancient astronaut theories that surround the Great Pyramid of Giza, mainly that's simply down to a lack of evidence.

Now saying all that I am fascinated with the date of things and whether there was a worldwide calamity 13,500 years or so ago that set us back to almost the caveman.

Also, think of what the sky looked like back then with zero light pollution.

... Could there really be evidence of ancient alien influence that we’ve missed, or is this just a clever way to attract clicks?

The answer to that question should be obvious. It's a bit sad that for you (and many others buying into this) it isn't. In the words of Kyle in the South Park episode that addresses this form of entertainment designed to intrigue and 'tickle people's ears': "Oh come on!"

But thanks for the demonstration and further evidence of the accuracy and truthfulness of this prediction (prophecy actually) anyway:

“For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the wholesome* [Or “healthful; beneficial.”] teaching, but according to their own desires, they will surround themselves with teachers to have their ears tickled.* [Or “to tell them what they want to hear.”] They will turn away from listening to the truth and give attention to false stories.” (2 Timothy 4:3,4)

Prophecies like that are like saying people will need food, it's how humans are.

I have a feeling we be back to square one with this pyramid business despite scientists have claimed recently they sovled the mystery.

cheers and thank you for the info.

I think this is a mystery that can only be solved if we get time machines that will allow us to see the past.
