Aliens Built the Pyramids, Obviously!

Ray Roshdy

When people see the Great Pyramids of Giza for the first time, many have the same reaction:

"There’s no way humans could have built that. It must have been aliens!"

It’s easy to understand why. The pyramids are enormous, precise, and thousands of years old.

Standing in front of them, the thought naturally comes:
How could people without modern technology achieve something so incredible?

This idea isn’t only something tourists imagine when they see the pyramids for the first time. But so many people around the world believe it.


In 2020, even Elon Musk joked on Twitter/X saying, "Aliens built the pyramids obv." It shows just how widespread this thought really is.






But here is the fascinating part...


If we look closely at history, we can actually see how these monuments became possible. The pyramids didn’t suddenly appear out of nowhere.


Ancient Egyptians had already been experimenting with large stone buildings for many years. We can see traces of earlier attempts (some that failed, some that were successful) and they show us a clear path of progress.

There is also direct evidence left behind by the ancient Egyptians themselves. On the stones of the Great Pyramid, we can still find inscriptions made by the work teams who built it.


r/interestingasfuck - Ancient Egyptian gang tag by the "Friends of Khufu". The hieroglyphic graffiti reads: ‘Ḫwfw śmrw ˤpr‘ (“The gang, Friends of Khufu”). From Campbell's Chamber inside the Great Pyramid of Giza (c. 26th century BCE):



They proudly recorded their names and groups, which shows us that real people, organized into skilled teams, carried out this massive project.

Far from being slaves or aliens, these workers were part of a society capable of incredible achievements.


When you realize this, the story becomes even more exciting than the alien theory.




Aliens make for fun science fiction, but the truth shows us something more powerful: human creativity, determination, and innovation!



The pyramids are proof of what people can accomplish when they dream big and work together.


On a fun little side note, one of favorite mugs that I often drink from while I’m working, shows the pyramids with the words: "Work so hard that people think the aliens did it."

And I find that very motivating!



It always makes me smile, because it captures the heart of the story: when something is done with such skill and dedication, it can feel almost otherworldly.


But in the end, it’s a celebration of human effort, and that’s what makes the pyramids so inspiring.


If you’re curious to dig deeper into those stories, join me on this journey where the real history is often even more amazing than the myths.
