"...the mysteries had actually been solved by Joseph Davidovits, Director of the Geopolymer Institute in St. Quentin, France, more than two decades ago. Davidovits claimed that the stones of the pyramids were actually made of a very early form of concrete created using a mixture of limestone, clay, lime, and water.
“It was at this point in the conversation that I burst out laughing,” says Barsoum. If the pyramids were indeed cast, he says, someone should have proven it beyond a doubt by now, in this day and age, with just a few hours of electron microscopy. It turned out that nobody had completely proven the theory…yet. “What started as a two-hour project turned into a five-year odyssey that I undertook with one of my graduate students, Adrish Ganguly, and a colleague in France, Gilles Hug,” Barsoum says.
A year and a half later, after extensive scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations and other testing, Barsoum and his research group finally began to draw some conclusions about the pyramids. They found that the tiniest structures within the inner and outer casing stones were indeed consistent with a reconstituted limestone. The cement binding the limestone aggregate was either silicon dioxide (the building block of quartz) or a calcium and magnesium-rich silicate mineral. "

Pyramids are the purple elephant in the kitchen sink - but so so so so so many refuse to look at them.
Have you read Wayne Herschel's Hidden Records?

To the OP: if aliens deliberately built the Pyramids to prove they were aliens, why did they make them out of stone? Why not titanium? You wouldn't find skeptics arguing that Bronze Age people could work titanium.

Wayne Herschel is a plagiarist and proven fraud:

That's a ridiculous assumption to make based on a post on Facebook to a NASA story about someone else!
Rather small minded don't you think...
Who are you to judge someone's work in Egyptology, Pre-History and Star Maps, someone who has spent 40 years in Egypt studying.
Don't make me laugh.

Except Giza more closely mimic's the constellation Cygnus, not Orion.

The real mystery about the pyramids for me are the strange diagonal shafts. It's one thing to cut a bunch of stones and stack them, it's quite another to bore rectangular holes through certain stones and have them align through dozens (maybe hundreds) of stones into perfectly aligned diagonal shafts. These days we could do it with lasers or water jets, but surely it would have been monumentally difficult for an ancient culture. Obviously they did it and it had to be quite an undertaking, so the question is... why? What function do those shafts have that they were worth the incredible effort it took to make them?
