The Bible, what's literal and what's not?

Why can't they have come up with it themselves? Other cultures did. Seeing that it is an idea, someone could have, you know, thought of it. Obviously it wasn't Osiris. How are aliens any more plausible?

I just realized that I didn't fully answer your question, by knowledge, I mean the complex mathematical concepts needed for such an accomplishment. And actually, cultures like the Mayan's also got knowledge from "beings of the heavens" according to their carvings. Even the native americans like in a place in the Arizona area (I'm trying to remember the name of the tribes) made some sort of astrological calander that was designed not by them, but by "gods from the skies." Does that mean aliens? Possibly. Aliens are more plausible because it is stated that "beings from the sky" informed the people of such knowledge. That knowledge could very well have been part of the building of the pyramids. No one can ignore what the carvings or the heiroglyphs decipher. Unless the heiroglyphs weren't literal.

How did this topic become a topic on how primitive people gained knowledge to build structures that would be nearly impossible with current technology today? Lol.
