Aliens built the Egyptian Pyramids
Sir,
Many thanks for an opportunity to get my letter published. The Egyptian Pyramids are among the Seven Wonders of The World, particularly because it is still a mystery as to who created them and how.
I think that aliens built the Pyramids and, I know, I know, we have been drilled to believe that aliens (from other planets) do not exist - but who has been to the ends of the universe to prove that?
I’m not talking about Martians , there is definitely no life on planet Mars.
What is so strange about the Egyptian Pyramids?
There are over 100 pyramids in Egypt built during different periods and it is believed they were meant to be tombs for pharaohs. In fact, some of the rocks used for the pyramids date back before Genesis was written: Creation as we know it. What scientists find puzzling is that the size of the blocks used to build the structures are enormous and no machine could lift them at the time.
These blocks are said to have been carried for a distance of about 500km through the desert from the river Nile.
The largest of the pyramids is the Great Pyramid at Giza which has some stones weighing up to 80 tons!
These huge stones were transported 500km away from the building site, making scientists wonder how human beings could achieve such at the time.
Transporting 80 tons worth of granite rock is like transporting 11 full grown African elephants all at once.
Some of these blocks are as huge as a standard size three-storey house such as the Mbabane Library so just imagine lifting the whole building a distance of 500km.
We don’t have mobile cranes of that size anywhere in the world even today, we do not have such a vehicle and probably we won’t until the next 50 years or so.
So, who built the pyramids?
I once wrote an assignment in high school about life on a distant planet but my teacher at the time tore it up saying I took my imagination too far.
During my days at WITS University, a lecturer told puzzled students that Egyptians used ‘simple machines’ to build the pyramids and that this took hundreds of years.
His examples did not seem to answer many questions asked by students such as how the builders used accurate mathematical measurements.
The lecturer couldn’t answer how simple machines were used to transport 80 tons of blocks 500km through the desert. Scientists and historians have still not figured out how a primitive culture (primitive at the time) could have built sophisticated structures. No similar structures exist anywhere else in the world and the interesting thing is that the pyramids were built from materials that do not exist anywhere near the site.
There are some pyramids in America, but they are much smaller compared to the Egyptian pyramids. Some scientists secretly believe that the pyramids were built by aliens from another planet beyond our galaxy, aliens with a civilisation much more advanced than ours, evident by the fact that we cannot build similar structures with modern-day technology. Some historians, though, claim the pyramids were built by Egyptian slaves and that the biblical Joseph was the master architect - but there is no actual proof. The Bible would have mentioned this but it doesn’t.
There is no explanation as to how they were built or how slaves transported huge structures from the Nile river. Another interesting fact about the Egyptian pyramids is that they were built at a point considered the centre of the Earth. The accuracy of the angles used to make the pyramids has also baffled scientists as the Egyptians did not have such technology.
Even modern day engineers would need advanced technology to rebuild the pyramids with the same accuracy that the Egyptians used, but such technology does not exist.
The theory that the pyramids were built by Egyptian slaves has been disputed by some historians and scientists who have dedicated their lives to studying Egyptian architecture.
They believe the pyramids were built by well-paid master builders and that they were not slaves as we have been made to believe. Are scientists and historians attempting to hide the obvious truth? We may never know.
Perhaps the greatest fear among human beings is the admission that we are not alone, that aliens had lived among us and maybe still do.

Dear Msizi Tembe,
Human beings have an intense curiosity about the world and where we don’t know the answers, we try and guess them.
We know who built the pyramids – the graves of those salaried builders form a small town which has recently been excavated near the Great Pyramid. What we don’t know is how or why but I seriously doubt it was through alien intervention. For one thing, as you say, the Bible would have mentioned it. For another, assuming you are correct, why would these aliens not be around now? Where did they go to? How come there is no physical trace of their bodies or artifacts made from minerals not found on this planet? It is far more likely that the ancient Egyptians built them but we just don’t know how yet (by the way, the ancient Egyptians were not primitives but civilised – which means they had a citified, literate culture).
