Were the Pyramids Built by Aliens? Ancient Astronaut Theory vs Science
Ancient astronaut proponents insist extraterrestrials built or guided Egypt’s pyramids. They highlight 80-ton limestone and granite blocks cut and fitted with near-perfect precision, the Giza triad mirroring Orion’s Belt, red granite beams hauled 800 km from Aswan without wheels or cranes, and nearly identical pyramids appearing worldwide in Mexico, Sudan, China, Indonesia, and Bosnia. They also cite 2018 Russian research showing pyramid models concentrate electromagnetic energy, hidden chambers containing liquid mercury pools and large mica sheets interpreted as power-plant components. Also, the abrupt leap to high civilization with no visible learning curve, and Dendera and Abydos reliefs that resemble electric "light bulbs" and "aircraft."
Archaeology and experimental science refute every point. Precision joints have been replicated using only copper chisels, quartz-sand abrasive, and dolerite pounders. The Orion “correlation” is selective and ignores scale differences; the actual air shafts point to religious stars like Sirius and the circumpolar “imperishable one," Polaris. A 2014 Amsterdam experiment proved wetting sand reduces sled friction over 90%, allowing small crews to move colossal blocks. Pyramids worldwide use local materials and reflect local cosmologies; similarity is convergent evolution. The electromagnetic effect exists but is far too weak for practical power. Mercury and mica served ritual and decorative roles. Hieroglyphs of “Light bulbs” are lotus and snake motifs; “planes” are standard name cartouches.
Egypt’s mastery evolved gradually over seven centuries from flat mastabas through Djoser’s step pyramid to Giza’s true pyramids. They were built by skilled humans utilizing centuries of knowledge.
