Did Egyptian Slaves Really Build The Great Pyramids?
Who built these marvelous buildings?
In the lands of the ancient pharaohs, sphinxes, and gold, there are also beautiful pyramids. The history books teach us that the Egyptian slaves built them, but is this true? Were these giant pyramids built by the slaves?
Besides the theories that suggest that the Pyramids were built by Aliens, which is an interesting theory that shows us the perfect stand of the Pyramids compared to Orion’s belt.
This could mean whether the ancient Egyptians had help from outside or were incredibly skilled at astronomy with limited equipment (or this equipment got lost).
A Brief History of the Pyramids
First, where does the idea of a pyramid come from? We are not sure. The most likely theory is that the buildings are descendent of the even older ziggurats in Mesopotamia (around 4000–3500 BCE).
In the early dynasty, pyramids didn’t look like pyramids. People with a lot of prestige were buried in these kinds of tombs called mastabas.
