The Great Pyramids: The Destruction Of The Great Pyramids

There have been attempts to prove or provide the knowledge that aliens built the pyramids. However, recent research supports the theory that the Pyramids were built by the Egyptians and also refute the possibility that the aliens built the Pyramids. The pyramids of Egypt are fascinating, however, they remain to be a mystery. The well-built architecture is located in Giza, Egypt, on the west bank of the Nile River is the only survivor out of all seven ancient wonders. The pyramid still amazes thousands of scientists and guest's each year. It is also one of the most important aspect of the Egyptian culture that Egyptians are proud of. In this paper, I am going to address three arguments in support the theory that says the pyramids were built

The largest pyramid, built for the Pharaoh Khufu around 2530 B.C. and intended to last an eternity, was until early in the twentieth century the biggest building on the planet. They are believed to have been built over a 20 year span. During the last 4,500 years, the pyramids have drawn every kind of admiration and interest, ranging in ancient times from religious worship to grave robbery, and, in the modern era, from New-Age claims for healing "pyramid power" to pseudoscientific searches by "fantastic archaeologists" seeking hidden chambers or signs of alien visitations to Earth (Shaw, 2003). Each giant Stone ranges from 1 to 20 tons in weight, and the Great Pyramid consisted of well over 100,000 stones (Mayes, 2004).To raise it, laborers moved into position six and a half million tons of stone. Some of them are in blocks as large as nine tons, with nothing but wood and rope (Shaw,

However, many disagree with the claim that there is not enough evidence to support the Egyptians being the builders of the pyramids and there are too much evidence to refute it. Alexander, an Egyptologists said those traditional ideas of the builders or the pyramids hasn’t been supported and are not facts (Alexander, 2010). He also argued that there were not any dead king inside those pyramids. Moreover, Dr. Ron Charles, a civil engineer and an archaeologist, discussed that there was and is still no proof that the pyramids were built to be burial tombs or sites for the pharaohs (Merrill, 2012). Dr. Mark Lehner, a professor of Egyptian Archaeology, says that there is graffiti on the ceiling of Khufu’s tomb which provides evidence of their purpose but which was not recorded until 1837 (Lehner,2006).

Zechariah Sitchin takes this a step further with his assertion that the graffiti was a forgery done in May of 1837 and that he received a letter from a man whose grandfather witnessed another man painting hieroglyphics on the walls. Also, he claims that he found a typo after close investigation. The hieroglyphics call the pharaoh “Khufu,” which would be like “taking the name of God in vain” and would never have happened. Therefore, they are most certainly forged. However, as stated
