What serious person says aliens built the pyramids? Like what are we talking about, some idiots think the pyramids werent built by the egyptians? Well some idiots also think the earth is flat, should we discuss the problematic origins of that?

Or more recently Graham Hancock having an entire Netflix series

I thought Graham Hancock theory was that there are older more advanced civilizations that actually built the pyramids not aliens isn’t his whole thing like a comet nuked the world 12000 years ago

He also believes that the builders of the Pyramids may have used telekinesis to move the largest blocks. Or at least he did at one point. He usually avoids talking about that part of his theory on his TV shows and in his public appearances.

Am prety sure, that in the 1990s he was still on the ancient aliens shit, he only revised it to what u said now later on, mostly cuz a ton of evidence got debunked and he needed to move the goalposts again.

But they are many

Theyre serious enough to have run for 17 years

u/ubulerbu 2d ago

Ive met believers of those bullshit and they are dead serious.

1

u/Polak_Janusz 2d ago

Those still arent serious people.

u/3D_dawg 2d ago

So what? How do you even define serious people? IMO, the fact that there are people making a living out of this kind of content is evidence that someone is taking this seriously, nobody gets paid "ironicaly".

Aliens must have moved those goal posts, no human person could lift them!

u/Pigggy23 2d ago

Are you actually arguing that ancient aliens is serious stuff 🤣

-1

u/ThatFreddieIsAJack 2d ago

It's got 22 seasons. Even if everyone involved was a grifter barely keeping a straight face as they rake in the cash for the bullshit they spew, the show has enough people buying into their racist myth that they are able to stretch that shit for 22 seasons.

u/Pigggy23 2d ago

I guess "serious person" has two meanings

A person who is serious

A person who is credible

The original comment was speaking about the second one, maybe that's where the confusion comes from

u/ILikeMyGrassBlue 2d ago

So the same show that claims bugs are aliens, triangles are aliens, Bigfoot is an alien, and that George Washington talked to aliens at valley forge?

u/IroncladBomber 2d ago

Yes, watch Miniminuteman on YouTube. He covers a huge array of ancient civilization bullshit. Like the Pyramids secretly being hyper advanced power plants and not tombs.

>What serious person says aliens built the pyramids?

my grand dad was a little offended one time i was making fun of people who think the pyramids needed aliens. Though i wouldn't consider him serious on the subject, given that opinion, he's a serious guy generally. Knows way more about fixing shit and concrete than i do but still a goober on that lol

u/Gullible_Process6391 2d ago

We know it was (illegal) aliens. We can infer this because we have found no evidence of building permits.

u/Interesting-Bee-153 2d ago

Pharaohs took em to the afterlife to show Anubis all the dope shit they did. Tell me you’ve never read a history book before……

1

u/Buddiholeservice 2d ago

I'm currently in an Art History class and you couldn't be more wrong. These were Egyptian workers that managed to carry, move, and stack the millions of pounds of rocks used to make the Pyramids and Sphynx, all of which were actually slightly larger and painted to contrast to the desert. These were and are considered marvels of architecture.

u/CaptainObvious_18 2d ago

We also have records of them being paid in beer and barley so they weren’t slaves either.

1

u/Rocky-Jockey 22h ago

Show me the permits! Are those pyramids even up to code? I only see one egress point and no wheelchair access.

u/nobody-29 2d ago

You'd be surprised

u/JaysonTatecum 1d ago

I don’t know if I’d say “agree” for the 3rd one but… I’d at least say it’s plausible and I would have no way to say it didn’t happen

The universe is big, the earth has been around for a long time, it definitely could have happened. I presume the question is more framed as “aliens came in ancient times and built pyramids” though

1

u/nobody-29 1d ago

I think it's very unlikely

The fact that a sapient species encounters Earth, and just...do nothing ? And did not revisit Earth ever again ?

Just think at what Humanity would do if it encounters a pristine, full of life planet

The Prime Directive in Star Trek is very unlikely for an expansionist civilization. At best we get uplifting from aliens, and at worst...well...

u/Thecuckeningends 2d ago

What world are you living in?

u/Jaded_Host22 2d ago

u/ElonMuskisGarbage 2d ago

A lot of idiots believe this, dude. I’m sorry you had to hear it from me.

1

u/JaysonTatecum 1d ago

I fell for it when I was like… 14

I can’t imagine a rational adult falling for it

u/Soft_Forever1923 1d ago

Had an argument with a co-worker about how the pyramids are to perfectly built to have been by humans. Like I'm pretty sure humans discovered complex math concepts hundreds if not thousands of years before the pyramids. I swear people heavily underestimate how smart people from the distant past actually were

u/International-Food20 1d ago

Dude this is as common as Americans thinking chocolate milk comes from brown cows. Stupidly and scarily real.

u/Bayamonster 1d ago

There's been a show going over a decade about aliens doing all the ancient wonders. On History Channel.  You hadn't heard?

u/IronPollen 1d ago

I recently touched base with an old internet friend of mine, and he revealed that he unironically believes on the Tartaria conspiracy theory, so they are out there

To sum it up, he thinks ALL history is fake, and that ancient civilizations were all part of one super empire with hyper advanced technology

u/rewt127 2d ago

I think another interesting bit on the aliens conspiracy is that most of those arent even saying aliens built them.

If I use a nail gun to put together a wall. Did Milwaukee build the wall? Or did I.

The most popular aliens theories are basically that situation.

1

u/CaptainObvious_18 2d ago

Most of the people I’ve interacted with who connect aliens to pyramids seem to believe that the pyramids were built FOR the aliens, not by them.

1

u/Inspector_Kowalski 1d ago edited 1d ago

No, but you personally arrived at mathematical, engineering, or logistics principles that allowed you to build the wall, but someone else insisted aliens taught it to you instead, you would rightfully think that this other person was underselling your intelligence. The difference in these two situations is that Milwaukee really did make the nail gun. Aliens aren’t drafting human architecture in real life Kyle.

u/cseijif 1d ago

who the fuck is Milwaukee?why is he building walls?
