The supporters of the 'alien theory' have made out that the transporting of the huge stones during the making of the pyramids was somehow a unique event. But this article shows that many culutres from many different parts of the world were able to transport huge stones also. It shows the pyramids were just part of the norm, and not a unique event.

Originally posted by Proper Knobi would argue it in a different manner: different cultures around the globe built pyramids so they must have a common characteristic: hence it must have been a civilization that told everyone to start building stuff in the shape of a pyramid. whether that civilization is Atlantis(yeah there is a theory about that) or some aliens, from a debater's point of view it would support not dismiss the theory of outside influence.

sure that is a speculation again and it is more reasonable that the pyramid was the most apealing shape to build.

Yet there are plenty out there, including demonstrations. But you haven't accepted them. Therefore you are not open to proper explanation.

one doesn't have to lift those blocks. one theory suggests the egyptians built ramps which surrounded the pyramids, ramps which grew as the construction progressed.

I don't think they're hiding, I think they would say they are not interfering , which is in accord with universal law.(Although there have been some ammendments to that law)

Time has already told, but you can't see that this is the case. The reason for this is that you have some flaws in your sifting mechanism for what to believe or reject, in my view.
So my case is this: the available explanations can be ranked in terms of likelihood. A proper rational appraisal reveals aliens to be a long way down the list amongst the extremely unlikely.
'Known proof' simply isn't the issue. The fact that you want an explanation that is immune from the unfalsifiable, fanciful and financially driven speculations of conspiracy theorists and charlatans just demonstrates that you are unskilled at acquiring knowledge whilst unaware that this is so. At least that's my very humble opinion 🙂
As for "its 90% preparation", I'm not buying. I don't believe in any over-arching meaning or grand plan.

since we are on the subject, how do you fit aliens in the picture? they had the technology to lift huge rocks but still needed 20 years? did they took very large pauses? maybe they forged the hystorical records to make it look like they built it over 20 years when they finished in a week including lunch breaks. do you say now they aren't interfering but they did build a large structure to serve as a burial chamber for one king? how come no written records exist about them? we are talking about the egyptians who wrote how many ducks the pharaoh hunted in a single hunt. you would say some scribe would manage to hide a tablet somewhere about the "gods" even if they would forbid it. and why interfere then and since then stay quiet? are the people of today dumber and more unfit for contact than the savages of then?
these are simply some of the inconsistencies with alien intervention. a much better explanation would be that the egyptians were simply that smart. and they were they had numerous years to practice pyramid building. not to mention that after the great pyramids they toned it down a lot, part because of the economic impact and part because the tombs were being looted. at most i would grant you a small concession: the aliens came and solved or corrected some calculation, maybe give an idea or two

What artifacts? How do you know what an alien looks like anyway?
spaceships,
Where?
astronauts
Where?
and paintings of aliens on cave walls

They weren't just burial chambers, they were initiation chambers for ascending to higher dimensions.
Now are you saying the egyptians were quite smart,(plausible), or that they were 'savages',iyho?
