      The ancient aliens theories are founded in racism. Just cause they were brown that doesn’t mean they weren’t sophisticated and needed help from aliens.

        It doesn’t need to be racism, the reason for claiming aliens was because it was so complex they didn’t see how ANYONE could do it even with 1900s technology. Like I never heard a person claim it had anything to do with the color of their skin

          It doesn’t need to be racism but it sure as hell is. See also: a shit-ton of ancient alien nonsense about Maya or Inca monuments, meanwhile nobody’s out there claiming that Klingons helped build the Parthenon.

          I didn’t say the theories are racist, I said they are founded in racism.

          A large amount of the ancient aliens stuff stems from Chariots of the Gods? by Erich Von Daniken, who is very clearly racist.

          If we look to von Däniken’s work, there can be little doubt that his racial beliefs influenced his extraterrestrial theories. After a short stint in jail for fraud and either writing or appropriating the material for a number of other books that developed his ancient astronauts theory, von Däniken published Signs of the Gods? in 1979. It is here that many of his racial views are most boldly stated. British archaeology officer Keith Fitzpatrick-Matthews points out on his Bad Archaeology blog just a few of the many racist questions and statements posed by the author: “Was the black race a failure and did the extraterrestrials change the genetic code by gene surgery and then programme a white or a yellow race?” He also printed beliefs about the innate talents of certain races: “Nearly all negroes are musical; they have rhythm in their blood.” Von Däniken also consistently uses the term “negroid race” in comparison with “Caucasians.”

    Are those pyramids called pyramids because they the shape that we call pyramid or do we call the shape pyramid because they look like those pyramids?

        It wouldn’t. A tetrahedron has four sides, hence the name, while an Egyptian-style pyramid has five (if you include the base, otherwise it isn’t even a polyhedron).

        They used muons I believe, which are particles coming from space which can pass through most matter, including the pyramids. They then measure how many make it through and derive the density, or something along those lines.
