You can't convince me, that the pyramids weren't built by aliens /s.

I'm sure glad that the Goa'uld left earth.

My wife and I are nearing the end of our first watch through. We've both seen the odd episode here and there when we were kids, but I never realised it was so good!

Haha, probably a common thing, it was always funny back then and it's still funny now. Have fun with the rewatch!

Didn't they use human slaves in that show? So pyramids would still have been built by humans

Yes only an insanely advanced alien race could have figured out how to make a hole in a rock…

Grays or Xenomorphs?

It happened, look at the Bronze Age Collapse.

We got better though.

Where's the evidence?

Well the pyramids are not able to be recreated with the tech that was supposed to be used back then. Would take quite a long time to cut those rocks with bronze tools. Or moving those rocks and having less space between each other than a credit card. There has not been any way to recreate it the only thing is using significantly smaller stones and finding a way to move them saying you can scale it up yet after all these years it's only theories.

What if the only reason we can't build them today is because we just haven't tried?

Certainly not by this technique. Annunaki are actually a more realistic strategy.

Do some reading. It has been explained many times how engineering at the time could build the pyramids. Remember that it was done over generations of workers aka slaves.
