Much has been said about great monuments around the world that are so magnificent in their
structures that it boggles the mind how the ancients built them.
According to some left-field theorists, people didn’t build them at all, but aliens descended
from the skies in what some have called giant eggs or boats, and it was those beings that
actually built the structures.
Well, if not build them, then directed the construction.
That’s how a pyramid could be made sitting at true north, say the theorists.
They go one step further, too, telling us that the pharaohs were actually alien-human
hybrids.
Sounds pretty far-fetched, but what’s leading some to make these claims?
Is there any evidence at all?
Let’s take a look at why some people believe this.
As you may have seen in our other shows on the pyramids, to some Egyptologists the question
of how the pyramids were built still remains shrouded in mystery.
We are not only talking about the hard labor of moving millions of stones, dragging them
across the land and then up the foundation, but the absolute precision in regards to how
they lie.
The fact the pyramid of Giza sits true north should be astounding to just about anyone,
not just conspiracy theorists, while others who have studied the structure insist that
this great monument was precisely built to reflect the dimensions of our planet.
There are critics of this theory and they state that if you shuffle the numbers enough
you can get the results you want to fit your theory.
Nonetheless, with the pyramids being so incredibly majestic, it’s certainly understandable
that some people might think humans had a helping hand from something not of this world.
Slightly more down to Earth but still outside the mainstream theorists have their own hypothesis,
saying it wasn’t aliens that did the work, but prior to the ancient Egyptians another
advanced civilization existed on Earth that had passed on their knowledge to them.
Before we turn to the alien-hybrid pharaohs, let’s look at some other reasons why a certain
segment of the public believes aliens came down to Earth, left, and then were worshipped
as gods by ancient civilizations.
For starters, we have the Moai of Easter Island, and the giant stone heads that certainly couldn’t
have been easy to erect.
There is plenty of evidence that it was possible for the Moai to build these statues, but there
are still those that state these were built in the shape of the alien’s who lent a hand
in their construction.
Then there is the ancient Bolivian temple Puma Punku, which was built with stones weighing
over 100 tons.
Even today scientists are in disagreement as to how humans moved them.
The stones in the temple fit together like an interlocking puzzle, and this would have
meant those builders had to have possessed a profound understanding of geometry and masonry.
Not only that, the incredibly intricate decorations in the stones are so outstanding experts don’t
really know how they managed to make them with such basic tools.
Tests on mummies have shown that people in that area regularly consumed hallucinogenic
plants, and to some theorists this was their way of connecting to another world, which
might help explain their brilliant inspiration.
We won’t go through all the great wonders on planet Earth, but there are many historical
sites that boggle the mind.
Take for example Stonehenge in the UK, or the temples of Vijayanagara in India that
seem to have alien-looking figures and objects carved into the stonework.
We are by no means attempting to sway you into thinking that just because humans in
the past showed that they could do incredible things that it means they had help from aliens,
but we are merely saying that this is a reason why some people believe this might have happened.
Back to the Egyptians.
Have you ever seen a picture of Pharaoh Akhenaten, the father of King Tut who was said to be
the living embodiment of the solar deity and who died around 1336 BC?
There are many remaining artifacts that depict what Akhenaten looked like, and you know what,
he has an elongated head much like the average Grey alien.
You can find one stone carving of him worshipping the disc of the sun, known as the Aten, with
the beams of light shining down on him.
Looking at this though, with his elongated head looking rather alien-like, if you didn’t
know better you might think that the great disk was actually a spaceship… some kind
of flying saucer.
Of course this is a long-shot, and if you read more about ancient civilizations you’ll
find that depicting people with elongated heads happened a lot, from the Australian
aborigines to the Mayans to many other places.
Some have suggested this might have been because they actually did have big heads, a deformation
called “Macrocephaly.”
That basically means “big head” in ancient Greek.
This might have been the result of inbreeding or disease that led to an abnormality.
It might also have been done on purpose.
Cranial deformation might have also been a very painful procedure, something that children
of noble birth had to go through to make them look unlike other ordinary folks.
The theory is that it gave leaders-to-be great prestige.
Whatever the reason, there is a lot of evidence of ancient people having these large heads
all over the world.
Some people would have you believe these people were alien-hybrids, or at least fashioned
to look like the great things that came from the sky.
There is no real solid evidence for this, though, it’s mere speculation, or more like
fantasy.
As for the great Akhenaten, did he really have an enlarged head?
Surely his mummy would tell us this, but we’ll get around to that soon.
Then there are the fantasies of the British tabloid press, who have at times not let the
facts get in the way of telling a good tale to put it politely.
In 2016 some of the tabloids published an article about an ancient Egyptian coin that
was unearthed.
If you look at it there is no doubt that one side portrays the elongated head of a grey
alien.
The problem with this is the fact the only evidence of that coin being real was a line
that told us the artifact was discovered by a “group of people who worked on the renovation
of a house in southern Egypt.”
We looked for more information at all on this mysterious group of renovators and couldn’t
find anything.
We did though find coin experts talking about the alien-head piece of cash, and they said
this.
“A little research revealed that it’s not even a real artifact, but a heavily retouched
(“photoshopped”) image of an actual Roman medallion in the famous collection of the
Cabinet de Médailles in Paris.
The hoax was uncovered by computer scientist Ralf Bülow.”
So much for trustworthy news sources.
We found another dubious source telling us that DNA tests of Egyptian mummies revealed
a gene called “CXPAC-5”, which we are told, is responsible for the building of the
frontal cortex, the thinking part of the brain.
Eight out of nine mummies didn’t contain this, but the mummy of Pharaoh Akhenaten did.
The article then jumps to the conclusion that aliens must have planted this in the pharaoh.
The blog post tells us it is unusual to find CXPAC-5 in the mummy of Akhenaten because
he died aged 45, and it only appears in much older people.
Akhenaten seemed to have an advanced brain.
That said, we can find no one but alien enthusiasts talking about it.
In fact, there are no links at all leading to the supposed study that tells us the Pharaoh
might have been linked somehow to aliens because of the appearance of this gene.
Scientists are actually not sure where he was buried anyway, with it being speculated
that he might have been laid to rest in KV55, a tomb in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt.
One of the skulls found there was enlarged, but it’s thought this was because of a disease
called chronic hydrocephalus.
This basically means too much fluid on the brain and this can distort the cranium.
Other experts say the ancient’s enlarged heads could have been down to various syndromes
that cause macrocephaly.
Still, the reputable experts are still debating if that skull was Akhenaten’s at all, and
they certainly haven’t put forth a theory that aliens had planted a gene in his head
which made it larger or made him more intelligent.
The alien believers certainly connected a lot of invisible dots to make that story work.
Finally there’s the allegedly ancient Egyptian text called the “Tulli Papyrus”.
You will find certain sources saying this contains script that looks like it talks about
UFOs.
One translation of part of the text reads in English, “In the year 22 third month
of winter, sixth hour of the day the scribas of the House of Life found it was a circle
of fire that was coming in the sky,” Another part reads, “They were more numerous than
anything.
They were shining in the sky more than the sun to the limits of the four supports of
heaven.
Powerful was the position of the fire circles.”
Wow, that certainly sounds like it might be an account of an alien sighting.
The only problem us, the Tulli Papyrus is not an authentic papyrus.
It is a transcription of an alleged document of whose origin is dubious at best.
Even some ufologists called the entire thing a hoax, saying someone was handed an ancient
document and told it was a transcription of the original and then someone translated that
and that’s about it.
In something called the “Condon Report” a report by a group funded by the US Air Force
on the possibility of alien life coming to earth, this Tulli Papyrus was talked about.
The researchers wrote that it was “taken from secondary and tertiary sources without
any attempt to verify original sources.”
They also said that all such accounts of UFO sightings handed down from ancient times have
proved to be weak and unverifiable.
Until they can be verified they are meaningless.
From what we can see a lot of people don’t bother with the verification process but are
quite sure when writing their blogs from their bedrooms that they are right.
Their evidence is like the Tulli Papyrus in digital form, dubious evidence handed down
and rewritten and copied and passed on.
It makes for a good story, but until we have more evidence that’s all it is, a story.
As you can see, a lot of people claiming that pharaohs were part alien or contacted by aliens
are connecting a lot of dots that don’t necessarily mean much except in their own
minds.
They already have a picture they want to see, but science doesn’t work by starting from
a conclusion and finding evidence to back it up, it’s the opposite, we look at the
evidence we have and use that to come to conclusions.
With that, we’ll finish this with a quote.
In the words of astrophysicist Carl Sagan, “In the long litany of 'ancient astronaut'
pop archaeology, the cases of apparent interest have perfectly reasonable alternative explanations,
or have been misreported, or are simple prevarications, hoaxes and distortions.”
