See, this is the kind of thing alien believers dont think about. When we get real, we see aliens dont exist.

Because it downplays the actions of their ancestors.

The whole "Aliens HAD to have built the pyramids" thing is rooted in racism.

People say/said it and other stupid shit about the likes of Stonehenge as well. Often more based in thinking ancient people were stupider than they actually were. Same thing with thinking people thought the world was flat.

They absolutely are. There's been a lot of mixing in Egypt, largely based on its location, but the Ancient Egyptians did not simply "die out".

Stonehenge isn't nearly as "mainstream" as the Egyptian pyramids or the Mayan pyramids or other things like the Nazca lines. You don't see people defacing Stonehenge like you do the pyramids to "prove" it's aliens.

Its racism. Some historians also think its because of racism everyone thinks Africans were brought to the new world by white colonizers, as if Africans couldnt figure out for themselves how to traverse the ocean

Yes they are. Coptics make about 10% of Egypts demographics. And when Egypt was invaded in the 7th century, many Copts converted or were taken as slaves. So we do share ancient Egyptian ancestors. And to answer the OP, yes its racist and offensive when I hear shit like that.

That all seems to be speculation. They either came to the so-called New World, through their own actions, or they didnt. Im cool with either, so long as there is proof of it.

The point was that people have an inaccurate view of ancient people in general. You're also not even able to go right up to it anymore, save for certain times, due to the harm being done to the stones. So not like those who want to deface it can so easily. I lived near it though, so heard far too much stupid conspiracy shit about it, far more than other places.

I've no doubt many people do let racism taint their views though of the Egyptian achievements (and African countries in general) but it's not like the general public thinks accurately of those in the past anyway.

Yeah, its ridiculous to assert that modern Egyptians are somehow completely different from Ancient Egyptians. Egypt had tons of people relative to the number of Persians, Greeks, Celts, Romans, Arabs, Kurds, Circassians, and Turks who wound up settling there. Its just sheer erasure of the genetic and cultural diversity of the Muslim world.

Why would anyone try to imply this though? Lol I guess I can only assume this would've been brought up when someone argues 'well they came over and got a free life' or a point so idiotic that the only hope for discourse would've been by taking a position something like in your post

Like has any historian actually made this claim? o_O

Is aliens built the pyramids mainstream enough of an opinion to not just be a wacky conspiracy?

Ive seen similar conspiracy theories posited towards places like Rome. (The idea being that theres too big of a technological leap in things like aqueducts. They think if aliens *didnt* intervene, thered be records of more gradual advancement)

like, I can see why you could infer an element of racism from the alien pyramid nonsense, but most people Ive seen that believe that are so down far the rabbit hole that Id be surprised if it wasnt just...being a whackadoo. >_>

I mean Ive watched a few episodes of ancient aliens for a laugh. I know the conspiracy is well known, but how many people watching that show are doing so because they really think the crystal skulls are magical artifacts from another dimension, and not because the batshit insane nonsense is hilarious? >_>

What insane brain power makes you think that the pyramids are more incredibly designed and constructed than the plenty of cathedrals of the gothic period and after that we know were made by humans?

Because the location of certain pyramids hit key phenomenon such as the solstice. It shouldnt be possible for the ancient pyramids in the world to be precise as they are. And obv Im not referring to Egypt just all ancient pyramids. I cant name all the phenomena offhand but I listened to Graham Hancock speak about it and was blown away and though he thinks its some mystical awakened human beings, Im just going with the easier answer: aliens

Everyone gets at least one mystical experience in their lifetime and some people will claim ghosts or the Holy Spirit of god or the occult or just never talk about it and keep it inside. But lets be real. Its aliens having a laugh. If you havent had mystical experience then I dont blame you for laughing at me. For those of you who know, well you know. Maybe its not aliens. But something has a vested interest in earth
