Saw a show say the pyramids were built by aliens again and it drives me nuts
We have actual worker villages, tools, and quarry marks at Giza that show exactly how regular people did it over 20 years, so has anyone else found a good way to shut down that ancient aliens stuff when it comes up?

Honestly, it's so frustrating. We have the actual workers' graffiti inside the chambers, names of the crews like "the friends of Khufu." We found the ramp systems and the copper tool marks in the quarries. The show just ignores all that to sell a story.

I mean, it's like they want a mystery more than the actual history.

Yeah, the real story is wild enough without making stuff up. Maybe it's about control, you know? Like if it was just normal people doing normal work, then anyone could understand it. But if it's aliens or a lost tech, then only the special people on TV can explain it to you. Keeps it feeling out of reach.
