And even then it had already been proven thousands of years prior by a Greek philosopher. Eratosthenes proved the Earth was round by observing two towers, each in a different location and measuring the angles of the shadows made by the Sun at the same time of day. What he found was that both shadows cast different angles and from this he was able to calculate the Earth's circumference.

Also if there were aliens before why aren't they visiting now huh

[@shadowcub5751]

Considering the vast amount of information lost in the Alexandria library fire, it's very probable they had access to more advanced technology than we think. We have absolutely no idea what kind of literature was lost. There could have very well been schematics. Egyptians also had an entirely separate script for handwriting. They didn't write on paper in hieroglyphs. I doubt, for instance, they'd consider a shopping list important enough to be buried with. Also, the simple fact that any tools built with lumber may easily have rotten before any sandstone. The climate in that region at the time, was much wetter than it is now. For all we know they could have had water wheels, cranes and lifts. There is some evidence that Rome around this same era had mechanical clocks and gearing systems. Also, the argument that tools aren't depicted in art because... they're tools... is very valid. As an artist, I can't say I've ever been compelled to paint or draw a power drill. Not to mention the Dark Ages actively wiped out a lot of science (the ancient Greeks knew the world was round... the Church was like, "nah") and I'd dare to say set technological advancement back roughly 1,000 years.

As someone who's taken extensive ancient art history classes, I think it's fascinating that nobody ever accuses the Greeks of getting help from aliens. The columns of the Parthenon are curved at perfect subtle angles, and would require a compass a mile wide to get that result. We can't do that without modern machinery. In the restoration of the Parthenon, there are certain building techniques that we have needed to MAKE UP, using modern machinery, to replicate what they did. But no, just because the Greeks were Oh So Sophisticated and Western, it couldn't be aliens. (BTW, not saying the Parthenon was made by aliens. I believe neither ancient monument was made by aliens. ) Also, wasn't there evidence of ramps at later, similar tombs, specifically Hatshepsut's? Later Pharaohs didn't have the resources to replicate the scale of the Great Pyramids, but they still built more. IDK, I just think that these theories are pretty dismissive of the quality of ancient art, especially that of nonwhite cultures.

(research lukasa boards as a good example of other ways history was preserved in the area) and the egyptian architects were geniuses, and very careful planning was put into the great pyramids by incredibly intelligent people who had been practicing the art form for centuries beforehand. with the amount of resources the ancient egyptians had at the time, along with their advanced mathematic capability and knowledge of the cosmos, its totally probable for them to have built the great pyramids on their own.

The initial carving was made during the reign of Seti I, and the stone was later reused during the period of Ramsesses II with one carving being on top of the the other."

It’s not as simple as a right angle... the degrees to which it is off by is incredibly small. All 4 sides have a uncertainty of 4 millimeters from each. So what they made was a perfectly square building that had corners that point nearly perfectly in the cardinal directions. As well doing this as many times as there are layers throughout the pyramid. Experiment go out and grab a bunch of granite which is extremely tough to shape and then build a perfectly square or he’ll try even one square. If you can’t find granite see how hard it is for you to simply draw a perfect square. Then after you do that just go out and grab a bunch of people that don’t know what there are doing and command them to draw a perfect square when they have no idea what a right angle is, what a square is, straight line is, what anything you are building is.

Kemet (Egpyt) was an empire that lasted thousands of years with no pollution. America is only a few hundred years old and we've polluted the planet so much, people are wearing masks because the air is so dirty. I don't see much intelligence in modern society.

Considering that modern engineering often uses unnatural materials like metal and glass (and a large variety of other materials) has anyone ever considered that ancient Egyptian engineers who primarily worked with natural stone might have had a greater understanding of engineering with that specific material then we have even today, but that the knowledge might have been lost through the centuries? Or is that too big a punch to our egos?

The human brain is wired to look for the fastest and simplest explanation, this is why magic thinking is often the best response someone can come up with to explain something he can't grasp. It takes incredible intelligence and willpower to go beyond our programming. It's the same reason we respond to darkness and weird noises with fear, because we are wired to prevent danger without seeing it directly, in what we call our lizard brain. The brain wasn't made for rational thinking, hence why most of us are not capable of it.

Based on the vast scale of the universe, in addition to (based on humanity’s history) the meteoric rise and fall of civilization (a couple hundred years isn’t even a blip on the timeline of the universe) they probably haven’t visited Earth. We’re essentially a country backwater of the Milky Way. At this point in our understanding, the stars would have to align in an utterly miraculous way for aliens to visit. It’s possible, but improbable. Definitely interesting to think about though!

[@strafe_breaker3440]

Imho, regardless if the blueprints were allegedly burned down, the Egyptians love placing Hieroglyphs and have done so to put a stamp on everything they praised, made or achieved, with regards to the pyramids if they did built them, it should have contained writings etched in stone that would have been preserved for eons within its hard casing walls like with the valley of the Kings, the absence of such inside the so called gigantic tombs may mean they had nothing to do in building them and the scary part here is, it seems they never even tried, was that because of pride? At a time when conquering was a thing? We may never know the truth sadly for as long as politics and greed are still prevalent surrounding the structures.
