Ancient Astronaut Theory

[Minimalist]

I draw your attention to these 3 photos which I used in a post on another board some time ago.

The first photo is from the Great Pyramid in Giza and the others are from the Red Pyramid in Dashur.

As the story goes, the Red Pyramid was the 3d pyramid built by Sneferu, father of Khufu. It is far shorter (345 ft versus 480 feet) than the Great Pyramid and also squatter being built at a shallower angle. Nonetheless the Red Pyramid has been determined to be the immediate precursor.

Now, look at the first picture and note the height of the blocks relative to the man in the photo. The blocks come to his shoulders. Next observe how many levels of stones are visible in relation to the people in those pictures at the Red Pyramid. The stones in the Red Pyramid are much smaller. Finally observe the quality of the stonework in the first picture as opposed to the others. Again there is no comparison even though both are made of limestone.

The Great Pyramid is a quantum leap over the Red Pyramid and the workmanship in the later pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure is equal to the GP in precision. Yet, here is a photo of what is left of the pyramid of Userkaf, founder of the 5th Dynasty.



Author Graham Hancock considered these facts ( built over the course of basically 1 century) and suggested essentially that the modern equivalent would be a society going from a horse and buggy to a Lamborghini and back to a Model T. I agree with him....but there is no evidence for "aliens" building it either. It is a mystery particularly if one binds oneself into the terms and conditions that the Egyptology club insists upon.
