Aliens Built the Pyramids

Topics: Great Pyramid of Giza, Ancient Egypt, Egypt Pages: 2 (713 words) Published: June 21, 2002
Aliens built the Egyptian pyramids. Recent research supports the theory that the Pyramids were built long before humans inhabited the area now known as Egypt. It is also nearly impossible for the Egyptians to have lifted and moved the limestone brick used to build these massive structures. Only a more advanced form of life could have constructed such an enormous undertaking, while using advanced mathematics and geography that were not yet known to ancient peoples.

Archeologists suggest that the large stones used in building the pyramids were transported by rolling them over logs or a wet, slippery, clay surface. These methods may have been effective in moving the blocks close to the building site, but do not explain how the massive bricks, weighing as much as a Ford F250 truck, were lifted on top of each other.

When the Great Pyramids at Giza were built, the Egyptians had not invented the wheel yet, but the limestone blocks that they grudgingly transported, in an effort to build pyramids, weighed about 2 tons each. If all of the stone from the pyramids was cut into one foot, square blocks, it would extend two thirds of the way around the earth. No human life forms could have possibly erected these structures using that much limestone, because they did not have the technology to work in such scale. Only aliens, with more advanced mechanical and mental abilities, could have designed and delivered such an amazing feat.

The line of longitude and the line of latitude that the Great Pyramid at Giza lies on are 31 degrees north by 31 degrees west. The ancient Egyptians could not have known this intersection when the architect designed the pyramids, yet the site chosen has the same number latitude and longitude. It was aliens, after studying the planet from afar, who implemented temples on this exact site.

With 757 foot sides, the largest pyramid at Giza would have been difficult to design with a perfect square base, and yet the base is almost...

  • Essay about Who Built the Pyramids

    ...The Pyramids at Giza remain one of the most amazing architectural works in history and the Great Pyramid stands as the last surviving wonder of the ancient world. The Great Pyramid is “the largest pyramid… [and] was until early twentieth century the biggest building on the planet” (Shaw). It is because of this reputation that the pyramids have gained that some people began to ask the question “Who built the pyramids?” There are many theories revolving around the construction of Egypt’s pyramids: two of which are that the Hebrews under the control of the pharaoh Khufu built the pyramids or that the pyramids were built by extra-terrestrial forces. The famous Greek historian Herodotus traveled to Egypt around 430 B.C. In Egypt, he visited the pyramids and came to the conclusion that the pyramids were built by demoralized Hebrew slaves working under the command of the immoral pharaoh named Khufu. Throughout the years and until today, this is the theory that is accepted by most people. However, there lies a problem with this theory, which is its lack of evidence. First of all, there must have been a very large amount of slaves available to build the pyramids under the labor conditions of that time. There was no proof whatsoever of there being any sort of...

  • Who Built the Pyramids? Essay

    ...Through time, there have been many theories as to how the pyramids were built. In the current century, many opinions have surfaced that have changed the questioning of how these magnificent creations were built. During scientific research in the recent decades, evidence has arrived that challenges alternate theories of how the pyramids were constructed. The results include the discovery of new chemical compounds found in the stone of the temples that lead to an entirely different approach of how the pyramids were built. The theory that will be further discussed in this document is perhaps the most loathed among archeologists. It depicts that the pyramids were built by pouring one of the earliest types of cement cast from synthetic material into wooden molds. It is supported through the knowledge of the technology at the time, the characteristics of the stone and supported speculations and discoveries. This theory is much more logical than thousands of men pushing stone blocks up an angular temple that is several hundred feet high. This notion could dramatically change Egyptian and engineering history. The first substantial piece of evidence that sparked this theory is when scientists invented a technology that was capable of processing the materials from the ancient pyramids. The results were astonishing. They had found “traces of a rapid...

  • Who Built the Pyramids? Essay

    ...There are more than 130 ancient pyramids in Egypt, but the three pyramids at Giza dwarf the rest in comparison. Historians and archaeologists have been deeply fascinated by these structures for centuries. Many theories have been proposed in regards to who the people to construct these towering monuments were. A popular theory stemming from the Bible is that Israeli slaves, kept in harsh conditions by the pharaoh’s men, were forced to haul the giant stones used to construct the pyramids. The scale of the construction and the fact that the pyramids were built 4500 years ago have caused some people to believe that the project must have been carried out by superhuman forces such as aliens or giants. Modern day historians have collected enough evidence to disprove these theories and propose one of their own. The pyramids at Giza were built by a group of approximately 5,000-10,000 Egyptians, who were not enslaved but respected and rewarded for their hard labour. This is evident in archaeological findings, which show the way in which these people were treated. In addition, the inscriptions and graffiti found inside the pyramids prove that the workers were more than willing to participate in the hard labour. Lastly, experiments and research conducted by historians and building engineers further support this theory and disprove all others. The two leading...

    ...Research MYP3 Benedikt Corkill Pyramids were built in Ancient Egypt as tombs, or burial places, for Egyptian pharaohs, or kings. They believed that the pyramids made you immortal. The Ancient Egyptians believed in an afterlife, so it was very important to them to protect the bodies of their pharaohs. In order to keep the body of the pharaoh safe, the insides of the pyramids were like mazes with secret doors and dead-end passages. The pharaoh would be near the bottom or even underground. The Great Pyramid was built to serve as a tomb for the king at the time...Cheops or Khufu (in arabic), it houses his tomb as well as all of his treasures that he would take on to the afterlife.

  • Aliens Essay

    ...Now how many of you believe in aliens? Well if you don’t, here are a bunch of reasons why you should believe that aliens exist. Let’s consider galaxies first. There may be 100,000,000 galaxies, because an estimated 50 billion galaxies are visible with modern telescopes. Every galaxy must have a number of stars in it, as many as hundreds of billions. Now we all know that stars have planetary systems. Then it is also a well known fact that the dimming and brightening of a star is when a planet crosses its disk. Also, it is believed that every star has a planetary formation around it. Now if galaxies are there, and every galaxy has planets in it, then there is possibility for planets to have water or some form of life on them. In "The Day the Earth Stood Still," a remake of the 1951 science-fiction classic, an alien named Klaatu (played by Keanu Reeves, right) visits Earth to save us humans from ourselves. The story is a work of science fiction, with the emphasis on fiction, says Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the SETI Institute and a technical adviser on the film. For example, to be able to detect a dangerous buildup of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere and come save us from global warming, an alien that could travel at light speed would have to reside no more than about 50 light-years away. "I doubt that there are any aliens that close," Shostak says. And even if there are, "they might not care...

  • The Great Pyramid Essay

    ...well known or inspired as much awe and wonder as the pyramids in Egypt. Built centuries ago, long before modern building technology, these massive structures leave many wondering how and why there are there. The largest and most famous pyramid is the Great Pyramid of the Egyptian pharaoh Khufu. Today, the pyramid is over 4,500 years old and has continued to astound scientists, archaeologists, and mathematicians with its size, precision, and consistency. The ancient Egyptians built pyramids as burial places for their pharaohs. They believed that the pyramid acted as “the gateway to the next world” (Engineering the Impossible). The Egyptian people believed that their pharaoh was a human embodiment of the Sun God, Aman, and that it was necessary to mummify and bury him in a pyramid, where he would be able to rise into the heavens and watch over his people. By building a pyramid for their pharaoh, the Egyptian people believed that they were helping themselves because when the pharaoh returned to the heavens he would reward his people with rich harvests (Engineering the Impossible). In the year 2551 BCE, Khufu was named pharaoh of Egypt. Shortly after he became pharaoh, he ordered the construction of what would become the largest stone structure in the world – the Great Pyramid (Figure 1). It was common for pharaohs to...
