Tbf people act like people are the stupidest creatures too. Especially historically speaking.

"How in the world could these complete and utter dumbasses figure out how to build giant piles of dirt in a specific shape? It must be aliens cause there is simply no way those idiots could figure that out on their own."

Idk if it's just a trope, but there are allegedly people so into the conspiracy wondering if they were built from the ground up or the tip down. 😅

They actually started from a corner

But which corner? Maybe it was the top corner 🤣

I think the idea the pyramids were build from the top is a joke playing of the things said by conspiracy theorists.

They were built from the top down. From the top waaaay waay down.

Each one has two round chambers at its base nearly 2km below the surface.

Edit: Eh, nobody got my juvenile phallic reference.

There is obviously a lot of questions on how but I think the more interesting angle is why? Yeah humans at any stage in life could probably figure out how to stack these massive stones to create a few hundred meter tall structure. But the effort involved to do so must have needed some extraordinary reason, especially when you learn that the quarry they mined the stones from was 100s of kilometers away.

For the same reasons humans have done things throughout history. Worship, art, glory, vanity

Especially if these people had a skin color any shade darker than white
