See when you think about it, makes a lot more sense for planets moons if formed by natural means to be solid as opposed to hollow which would require precise and perfect timing, energy, pull, and a number of other facets that wouldnt need to be as dead on altogether for a solid planet.

If there was a huge hollow under the pyramids, the pyramids would collapse.
This is "comic book" reasoning and science. If you do a bit more reading on the subject, you will find the evidence that the Earth is solid and... by the way... although the various pyramids have been looted (which is what happened to the bodies) there's plenty of evidence (funeral chapels, writings) that say people were once buried in them.
Rule #1: Before Making A Theory, Read A Lot Of Stuff Including The Science Stuff!

en.wikipedia.org...

This could also explain the question of ,”if the earth is hollow, then where do the volcanic eruptions come from?” They could be results of magnetic repulsion pushing the crust out at an incredible speed, and in the process melting it, creating lava. Uh, I think all that makes sense, probably not but it was worth a shot.

I have also read about the various tunnels under the pyramids. I also beleive that with all the shafts, and decoration, that they took their burials seriously...
they are tombs... gone disney...
As far as the tunnels to the center of the earth... sorry to shatter the possibilities for you, but the science is very clear there...
we dont know the exact density of various levels of the core, but we know they are there...
We also know that if they weren't, we would float off into space.
That does not preclude the possibility that the earths inner surface is sponge like, with large voids...
It probably is, based upon our experience of the crust. We know that chemical reactions cause gas voids to develop, so there would be large chambers all over...
With this multi level cavern type system, a population far in excess of what is on the surface could survive...
but not for humans. We could only go so far down, before pressures caused us to implode (similiar to what happens in deep sea wrecks).
Also, with the exception of artificial light, and natural chemical reactions causeing light... it would be dark... and spooky... and hot....
and who wants to live where it is so spooky?
If i were looking for cavern dwelling alternative species...I would stop thinking along human type lines...
More like morlocks...
And a BTW... the original article for inner earth UFO's was not only a story put out by the SUN tabloid... it was debunked by the website you refered to...
so not even your reference article beleives the story... (and they were almost as wacky)

The problem I have with the theory that a super advanced civilization built the pyramids is that lack of style and architecture to them. Its one thing to build the pyramid shape since it can weather the external forces much more effectively than many other designs, but what about the interior which is just small corridors and some rooms, if they were advanced and wanted to leave a mark showing how advanced they were then the interior of the pyramids should have palatial openings and a much greater level of design and engineering.
I saw a special sometime ago and it showed how the egyptians got the massive stones to were they needed, it was done by attaching wood semi-circles to the blocks on all four sides thus creating a full wheel so that they can be rolled as opposed to dragged or slid on rollers.
The theory could be held up of this by saying that the pyramids were built ontop of entrance-ways to the center of the earth b4 the egyptians came to be, and it was the egyptians who carved into and created the corridors and rooms in the pyramids with their limited capacity. The same could be said of the South American civilizations.
I dunno I mean the pyramids really arent that amazing, not like some of the temples in the mountains in nepal and that area of the world. But at the same time there does seem to be more to them than meets the eye.

they say that the pyramid's design is more complex then any buildings currently built which is prety impressive considering it's older.

no great scientist of the modern day has laid out a workable, unassailable blueprint of how we could, with all our modern technology, exactly duplicate the great pyramid.

You may be able to do it, but if you can formulate a foolproof plan of how to do it all, you will be the first.
which is far more precise than modern buildings are, by hundreds of times.
I have read likely a few dozen books on just the great pyramid, plus many more on other ancient megalithic structures in Peru, Mexico, etc.

now this is just a wild guess but you've never studied geometry and aren't currently employed as an architect are ya
No, my architect friend says the great pyramid is stone age, its just a pile of rocks is how he put it.
Not a clue.
I am a fair tradesman in a number of trades, though.
Okay, who has 2 billion.... overruns you know.

you have to come up with a more likely theory of who actually did it thats supported by evidence and provable
so far you haven't
what do you think ?

Obviously I won't be the first
But given the time and resources of the Egyptian pharoahs, and the centuries of prior experience and knowledge that Egyptian builders had amassed, it would be possible.
Now, if you can move Cairo for me, give me free reign over all of Egypt, provide me unlimited gold and arrange for my 200,000 men then away I shall go
