Who made the Pyramids?

Such a structure could not be made today with all of our technology, so how could it have been made thousands of years ago? Some say that aliens came from outer space, and they helped the humans to create them. I'm not sure exactly. The three of them are lined with orions belt, is this a coincidence? There is also the theory of anti gravity, they figured out a way to simply float the massive blocks into place. What are your takes on this?

We know that the Pharaohs were advanced in many sciences . They have the knowledge we have not to know until now, such as the secret of mummification, there they were able to build civilization that still impress the world even now, it has carved in the rock temples,such as the Temple of Ramses which the sun inter it twice in the year , The Secrets of the Pyramids had not been discovered so far especially the Great Pyramid .

you mean the great pyramids right? There are 3 of them. Yes it is a mystery, and probably always will be. I watched something on the history channel saying they may have been a power plant.

I though they were built by the eygptions. I think it is possiable to be done years ago people did what they had to, to stay alive they were lazy like people are today.

If they were lazy then they would not have been able to do this. I find it hard to believe that a civilization far lass advanced then us could do this.

Yes I defiantly agree with this. We have more distractions these days. I still don't think they could have done that on their own.

I'm pretty sure they didn't figure out a way to use anti gravity :-) Also no aliens or other out of this world explanations, I think it is much more fascinating that normal humans thousands of years ago, without the technology we have today, managed to built things as fascinating and huge as for example the pyramids. Quite a few buildings from antiquity are aligned with start constellations in some way, so I don't think that's a coincidence. You can do that without fancy equipment though.

I want to be realistic without damping any enthusiasm but the credit does go to the workers. We have lost something’s because of technology. By using simple structural machines with skilled labour over time mankind is capable of moving large masses. Shaping and piling requires stone work skill and the efficient use of manual labour. What you do not see in old stone work are the huge stands of timber and shipping required for such a monumental construction project. In the present day we too have constructed great works with the use of our technology. Perhaps, someday someone could ask were they aliens?

'Many opinion said about :who built the pyramids, they were said by people from space , other said the Pharaohs , Jews claimed they were who built . And newly emerging scientists said that the Pharaohs who built, but with stones of clay, which Burnt with the fire then has a coherent and strong .

What do you mean realistic? Credit goes to nobody, we don't know who or what made it and never will. They didn't have knowledge of the stars. We don't have great works, our stuff will not stand the test of time like theirs. People in the future will know, because it will all be gone except the public record.

I think the pyramids were made by the premitive inhabitants of those times. Yeah ofcourse research regarding pyramids are still going on. Until then we have to wait for new research studies to come up.

I doubt primitive inhabitants could be capable of such feats.
