The Great Pyramid of Giza
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the largest Egyptian pyramid and the oldest of the Seven Wonders of The World. It was believed to have been built in the 26th century BC for King Khufu and his vizier (highest Ancient Egyptian official to serve the King) Hemiunu. It remained the tallest man-made structure for over 3,800 years. At a staggering 140+ meters tall and roughly 92 cubic feet in volume, this pyramid shocks many historians to this day. What may seem like a simple geometric shape may turn out to be a structure created with assistance from some other being.
There have been many conspiracy theories discussing how The Great Pyramid of Giza was built by or built with assistance from aliens. There is no electricity, complex machines, nor any advanced technology within the pyramid, but conspiracy theories attribute their beliefs to how the pyramid was built in the first place. First, each block used in the pyramid weighs about 2,300 kilograms or 2.3 tons. The total amount of blocks used was about 2.3 million. That means the pyramid weights about 5.3 million tons, or 10.6 billion pounds. This is a rather interesting accomplishment that the Ancient Egyptians have earned simply because there are just so many blocks that couldn't have been possibly all made back in the 26th century given their little technological advancements. Speaking of technological advancements, many historians are also still trying to figure out how the pyramids were made and how each block was transported as the pyramid continued to build upwards. Not only is each block extremely heavy but the question that remains is how each block was carried towards the pyramids. Many theorists claim that aliens helped transported and stacked blocks on top of each other. The main takeaway is that the Great Pyramid of Giza was such an impressive feat for Ancient Egypt at that time that it's extremely suspicious to many conspiracy theorists.
