    Egyptians didn’t just decide “hey, let’s build a pyramid”. Mastabas were first, the shape of a Pyramid evolved later.

    Not to mention that there’s a few faulty pyramids (e.g. Bent Pyramid which were finished quickly or all together abandoned before completion.

    Merer forgot to mention aliens in his diary too.

    But hey, aliens did it. They couldn’t just land on Earth. Their ships were designed to land on a Pyramid because that’s how intelligent race would build their spaceships. Don’t question it, just trust the specialists (who wrote books!).

    Anyway, for anyone interested in Ancient Egypt, the best thing out there (I think) are Bob Briers lectures also available on Audible.

      Don’t know why you replied this to me, but cool links.

      I never suggested there’s any validity in the alien-pyramid thing, only described how it could have entered the discussion in the first place.

      (“We don’t know what they did, seems hard even for us, must have been magic”. Pathway)

      Not advocating anything, not arguing anything, no tinfoil on my frog’s heads, they live naturally.

        Pretty sure they were just agreeing with you. It’s like an argument you imagine in the shower, but co-op mode.
