Now for the answer
The smooth sided pyramids were designed by the egyptians
They appeared there first and there is a clear pattern of experimentation on earlier egyptian pyramids
one even collapsed because they made the angle too steep
i bet pharoah was happy
All the other smooth sided pyramids in the region can be directly linked back to them
The first pyramid built in egypt in 2650 at saqquara is a step pyramid
smooth sides is an innovation that in egyptian legend at least came from the famous priest Imhotep
you alien fans will recognise him as the character played by arnold vosloo in the mummy movies
So i'm afraid it wasn't aliens
i guess at least half of you didn't bother to read the first post where i actually specified which pyramids
I expect that you're the same guys who haven't figured out how to set the timer on your video recorders yet because you haven't even glanced at the instructions
Essan got it right first

well done that man

I'm glad noone voted for Zahi Hawass. He didn't do it but he's certainly arrogant enough to claim it was his idea

c'mon, guys. let's go with logic.can we have a moment of duh, please?pyramids look like little mountains, because there are mountains all over the world, especially in places where pyramids were built!  isn't that more logical than jsus using his spaceship from the dog star, or whatever?

What's a "moment of duh"?
[right][snapback]649830[/snapback][/right]

Well, if the pyramids have remained this way over thousands of years, think how more impeccable they were then!?

So what about five egyptians with only loincloths?

I wasn't referring to the airshafts. I was talking about the three pyramids in general.

Well, I'm sure there is now.

People who make footballs now have modern day machines. They don't walk up to a cow and start cutting it with a knife.

First of all he was a master painter. Secondly, are you sure about him being able to do this?

Like concentration camps!?

So, you are saying that the Egyptians somehow visted the Mayans? and the Aztecs? And the Japanese?

I only read books by Dr. Seuss and Laura Ingals Wilder. And maybe some comics......

I'm sorry marduk. I do not have a PHD in this subject. However, I'm sure you do, but then again....why are you posting on UM?!?!

Actually, I think the pyramids were made by Mary Poppins now. I changed my mind.

Well...not really...

No, I think they are built for us by Mary Poppins. How many times must I tell you?

YES. This thread is dead. LEAVE PYRAMIDS ALONE.

The Egyptians.  But they obviously had help from somewhere.
[right][snapback]651965[/snapback][/right]

They obviously had no help from anywhere. They were indeed a brilliant civilisation, and were capable of everything they did themselves.

I think you will find they did NOT OBVIOUSLY get help from anyone, as 99% of proffesors of Egyptology would agree.

You have no knowledge of the Egyptians compared to them, but you make some nice judgements anyway. Go and get a degree on it before you say someone helped them or aliens did it.

That's a snipet remark. The Egyptians did use pulleys and weights to counterbalance the ton weight stone blocks, and thousands of labours, but in the time alloted to make one pyramid -- 50 years? as dated in cravings on stone walls, they had to have assistance from anywhere else. Perhaps another race of humans?
[right][snapback]652566[/snapback][/right]

No. They did it themselves.

Mr. Ed, stop foaming at the mouth with ego. Where is your evidence or is this your opinion? If so, then say so. Otherwise, evidence is essential to prove your point. I have no evidence to prove my point and I didn't say it was actual fact. I was stating an observation and my opinion. However close-mindedness is often a sign of inferior thought process.

Thanks marduk, and you are absolutely right. I am going to add my own response as well....

'Mr. Ed, stop foaming at the mouth with ego. Where is your evidence or is this your opinion? If so, then say so. Otherwise, evidence is essential to prove your point.

Ego? hmm I never saw any of that in my text. How was I being egotistical saying that professors in Egyptology have far superior knowledge than you, and know that no one but the Egyptians, built the pyramids. Maybe you were thinking of a different word, but you may want to look up the definition here : http://dictionary.reference.com/

(By the way that is a clear case of childish mocking, not egotism, just incase you thought you were onto something there).

'close-mindedness is often a sign of inferior thought process'

Ah, so from that one post that I made you were able to tell that I was narrow-minded in general, good for you. Keep making assumptions like that, along with your ones about the Egyptians, and you will do fine.
hmm I could have sworn gullibility or extreme open mindedness is a often a sign of stupidity or wishful thinking, but oh well, you seem sure of yourself.

lol aliens building pyramids, someone has seen alien vs predator a few too many times. I suppose you think they come down every hundred years to battle serpent beasts lol u crackpots make me laugh

You have no evidence to prove your point and you're having a go at mr ed because he's saying what orthodoxy thinks
sometimes orthdoxy is right A R. More often than not actually
Your posts sound like statements of fact.
if you're saying its your opinion and you don't have any evidence for it then its not really worth anything outside your spehere of influence is it ?.
Mr Ed is outside that sphere.......lol
You stated that the AE had pulleys
they didn't
elsewhere you stated that the egyptian pharoahs all lived long full lives
they didn't
Maybe you should do some research then get back to us on this subject before you say anything about extra terrestrials
Majestic 12 doesn't like aliens
oh no we don't like aliens at all

[right][snapback]653206[/snapback][/right]

Did I say anything about E.T.'s? No. The AE's did have pulley's and levels, despite Hieroglythes have not shown such. Where is your evidence to state they did not? It has to stand to logic that pulleys and levels were the simplest way to build the pyramids, however there are theories that the AE's did not do it alone. No one really knows how AE's built the pyramids in a short time alloted, they are a mystery even by modern standards. You see so set in your way that you're not open-minded to other possibilities. You should be. You could be wrong.
[right][snapback]653730[/snapback][/right]

I am not set in my ways enough not to know that pulleys are not represented in egyptian art nor have any pulleys ever been found in egypt.
add that to the fact that pulleys are not an essential part of stone masonry and you'll soon realise that there was never a need for them anyway
so why go on about something that wan't needed and which had no use
seems a little silly but a little obvious for us to even talk about
by your very idea you show how ignorant you are
[right][snapback]653837[/snapback][/right]

As it is true neither pulleys or levers were represented in Egyptian hieroglythics doesn't mean they weren't used. I'm not a stone mason, are you? Then tell me, your theory how the 10 ton stone blocks were moved into position? One theory is they used sand around the pyramid, I know that. Any other theories, Sherlock?
