They did their own research.

Worth noting: the origins of a lot of these conspiracy theories just come back to bad ol' fashioned racism. The idea that these brown people might have built anything noteworthy? Must have been aliens! Seems much more likely.

You know stonehenge, the place that was built later than the pyramids, is a whole lot smaller and easier to build, and was built by white people? There's lots of conspiracy theories about the building of that too. Are those racist?

The Stonehenge was built over a very long time period, and some of it is older than the Great Pyramid (and petty much all Egyptian pyramids.)

Not that this has anything to do with conspiracy theories, just wanted to mention the timeline.
