So many people have tried to figure out how the pyramids were built. Diodorus Siculus tells us that they used constructed mounds to move the stone from Arabia and that the great pyramid was built in 20 years with the help of 360,000 men:
The eighth king, Chemmis of Memphis, ruled fifty years and constructed the largest of the three pyramids, which are numbered among the seven wonders of the world…It is said that the stone was conveyed over a great distance from Arabia and that the construction was effected by means of mounds; since cranes had not yet been invented at that time; and the most remarkable thing in the account is that; though the constructions were on such a great scale and the country round about them consists of nothing but sand, not a trace remains either of any mound or of the dressing of the softness, so that they do not have the appearance of being the slow handiwork of men but look like sudden creation, as though they had been made by some god and set down bodily in the surrounding sand. Certain Egyptians would make a marvel out of these things, saying that, inasmuch as the mounds were built of salt and saltpetre, when the river was let in it melted them down and completely effaced them without the intervention of man’t hand. However, there is not a word of truth in this, but the entire material for the mounds, raised as they were by the labour of a many hands, was returned by the same means to the place from which it came; for three hundred and sixty thousand men, as they say, were employed on the undertaking, and the whole structure was scarcely completed in twenty years.

So there you have it. It was not aliens, but the engineering skills of the human race that built the pyramids along with the hard work of many men and women. There are pictures of large rocks being moved by many men, it doesn’t take a genius or an extravagant alien theory to figure it out.
