UFO's

Not sure they are visiting us today but it's hard to believe they haven't visited before. Why do similar pyramids exist on many different continents? It's like some guy in Egypt woke up one morning and said "Let's go build one in Mexico for shits and giggles".

If you're working with what they had for materials, your choices for designs as you go up tend to limit strongly to one of a few designs I suspect. That part never really bothered me. How they moved 100 ton blocks of stone, and fit them together as they did, etc, is what still "bothers" me.

Or maybe all human brains work similarly and structures akin to pyramids make an awful lot of structural sense?

Dat too...

It may be because there are some people that just want to believe it more than I do. I think it's easy to believe that they haven't visited before because there's no consistently credible evidence to be able to draw that conclusion. Until that happens, for me, it remains firmly in the "maybe, maybe not" category. I'm prepared to believe it, but I don't believe it.

You mean we are not the "Yellowstone park" of the galaxy?

Instead of on the clock geysers you get wars springing up periodically

Or the South Park episode where Earth was actually televised entertainment for the whole universe ....and the show was about to get cancelled?

Good way to hedge a bet... Not believing but being ready to believe is kinda like betting heads and tails on a coin flip. You are man for stepping up to the table but you cannot win or lose. Not really a bad position to take. Kinda like being agnostic... Believing just enough to keep you out of the fire if there really happens to be hell. I understand.

With millions of slaves anything is possible.

I agree but you have to be able to feed the slaves if you want to get much out of them. Dead slaves don't do much work. Very doable in central America but harder to do in Egypt. When did the Egyptians start eating cows anyway.

Don't worry, Harry Reid will get to the bottom of this for you

I doubt they were slaves; my take is more like a national effort like our space program or a religious drive like Norte Dame.

The reason they built pyramids everywhere is simple: if you use stone you have to make the next level up narrower or it will just fall over.

Because it's a simple, basic self supporting structure that even children build with blocks. Also if you look at the progression of pyramids in Egypt, lots of trial and error.

It's probably also worth bearing in mind that not only do these pyramids occur thousands of miles apart, in places where early civilizations took root, but that they were often built many thousands of years apart.
