Head of Ciaro Univ. Archaeology says ETs helped build pyramids

Wish he said what the "out of this world" object is. Thanks for sharing.

 

For real. With all the shit going on in Egypt I doubt this will pop up on the news. Which is a shame...or a coverup!

 

Whoa.

If these aliens exist....we must be like children....

 

if ET's helped build the pyramid, maybe the alien theory with the mayans is legit.. making 2012 a likely event.... OOH NOES

 

Of all the skeptics that I've seen talking about how the pyramids were made, this is the one facet I've never seen explained.

It's the freakin' desert. There aren't giant hardwood trees to even build levers and cranes out of. So it all had to be done on the backs of slaves.

Is it even possible to get enough people around a 20ton stone to lift it by hand?

Even if you could get the slaves to lift 200lbs each, you'd need 200 of them on each 20 ton stone. Can you get 200 people around a 20 ton stone?

Doubtful.

And if you're dragging them up a ramp, the ramp itself would be an even bigger engineering marvel than the pyramid itself.

Because if the ramp is made from dirt and sand, it would be more massive than the pyramid itself because it's sides would not be as steep at the pyramid sides and it would be 2 miles long by the time you got to the top level of the pyramid.



I'm skeptical about aliens helping out, but there was something going on that we don't understand and could not reproduce today without modern technology that archaeologists say was beyond their capability.

 

you would think they would take a better picture of it.

 

This article states the author was misquoted and never said anything about aliens. It does sound like a good story line for a new "Return of the Alien Mummy" movie. Now I can not prove aliens did not build the Great Pyramid but I find it highly unlikely that they had any hand in it.

It is very interesting to read about this subject but I am not convinced that there is any evidence any where on earth that aliens have ever been here.
Thats my 02.



THE GREAT PYRAMID WAS NOT BUILT BY ALIENS: IT'S OFFICIAL

In late November 2010 a news report appeared online claiming that one of the world's leading Egyptologists has implied that aliens might have been involved in the construction of the Pyramids of Giza, adding that there was something "out of this world" inside the Great Pyramid.

Such staggering claims were always going to draw the attention of every social networking site user into aliens and ancient mysteries, ensuring that the story circulated Facebook and Twitter like wildfire. I followed the link given, which was to an apparent news site with the address of allnewsweb.com.

The "breaking story", headlined, "Egyptian archaeologist admits pyramids contain UFO technology" spoke of how in "a shock statement", Dr "Ala" Shaheen (properly Alaaeldin Shaheen), "head of the Cairo Archaeology Department" (his actual title is Dean of the Faculty of Archaeology, Cairo University,), had informed an audience that "there might be truth to the theory that aliens helped the ancient Egyptians build the oldest of pyramids, the Pyramids of Giza."

With my mind still trying to understand the implications of Dr Shaheen alleged words, the press statement went on to say that on being "further questioned" by a Mr Marek Novak, a delegate from Poland, "as to whether the pyramid might still contain alien technology or even a UFO with its structure", Dr Shaheen was vague, neither confirming nor denying this, yet admitting that "there is something inside the pyramid that is 'not of this world'".

It was said that delegates at the conference, which was on the theme of "ancient Egyptian architecture", were "left shocked, however Dr Shaheen has refused to comment further or elaborate on his UFO and alien related statements."

That is about it. Anything said in news reports and blogs beyond these statements has been either pure speculation or people's own interpretation of Dr Shaheen's words.

Initially, I put up a link to the news story on Facebook, saying that it would be interesting to learn what Dr Shaheen really had said, and joking that if he did say anything of the sort then it was unlikely that his contract would be renewed by his employers (either the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) or Cairo University).


Dr Shaheen Losing the Plot?

However, within minutes of putting up the story, I took it down, following receipt of an email from a prominent British Egyptologist, who was asking me to comment on an email received from one of Dr Shaheen's colleagues in Belgium. This person was greatly concerned by the aforementioned news report since he knew Prof. Dr. Shaheen personally, and could not understand how such a high ranking member of the SCA could say such things. Indeed, Dr Shaheen is at the top of his profession, as in 2008 when it became known that Dr Zahi Hawass intended retiring from his position as Secretary General of the organization, Dr Shaheen was being groomed to take his place. In the end this never happened, as Dr Hawass was appointed overseer of the SCA at a governmental level, a position he can now retain for life.

Perplexed by what had been written about his colleague, Dr Shaheen's friend wrote: "I know he would not say this unless there is massive evidence [to support such claims]. This man is … very very skeptic[al] about all theories [that do] not conform [to] the established archaeologic paradigm"

It certainly seemed that something was wrong with what Dr Shaheen had apparently said or been quoted as saying, and this was worrying his friend, who was genuinely in fear that his friend might have lost the plot, especially after being overlooked in favour of Dr Hawass, who stayed on as head of the SCA.

This was a worrying situation, and so I immediately made tracks to contact Dr Shaheen in the hope that he might throw some light on what had really gone on at that conference.

I also looked into the origins of the news report and immediately began to find a pattern emerging, one that was already familiar to me. Firstly, the supposed news site that posted the story normally deals with ET visitations and UFOs. Nothing wrong with that, of course, for if the story is real and they have the exclusive, then good luck to them. However, I then discovered that the individuals behind the news story on allnewsweb.com were new age fundamentlists, who promote a brutish and somewhat unhealthy agenda relating to the Great Pyramid and the monuments of Giza as a whole.


Atlanean Super Crystal

These people believe and actively promote the idea that inside the Great Pyramid, in a secret chamber, is a super crystal of either Atlantean or alien origin. This has to be found - by them - in order to activate a global grid of pyramids that will defend the human race from destruction by extraterrestrial forces come December 21, 2012. These same individuals believe that the truth is already known to Dr Zahi Hawass, and that he is part of a grand cover up to hide the facts. They have been urging people to bombard Hawass with petitions calling for him to recognise their legitimacy in the investigation of Giza's monuments. So much has this malicious campaign rattled Dr Hawass's cage that he was forced recently to publicly denounce these individuals' outrageous claims.

So the spin is this - get the general public to accept that at least one leading Egyptologist now believes that alien technology was involved in the building of the Pyramids of Giza, and then imply that this includes something "out of this world" awaiting discovery inside the Great Pyramid. In doing so, a campaign can then be launched to call upon Dr Hawass and the Egyptian authorities to allow a new investigation of the Great Pyramid as well as other monuments in order to hunt for Atlantean and/or alien artefacts, including the super crystal.

Yet the whole thing is pure spin - a very clever con at the expense of Dr Shaheen.


Dr Shaheen's response

And what of Dr Shaheen? What has he to say about the matter, especially since this alleged news report, which could well tarnish his good reputation in the eyes of his contemporaries?

I received the follow email from Dr Shaheen on December 1, 2010:

"Kindly be informed that I did not gave such stupid statement about aliens and Pyramids. As [I am] Egyptologist I could [not] say such stupid words and ideas."

So there you have it. New age fundie spin, again.

One last thing. I would love it if a super crystal of Atlantean or alien origin were to be found inside the Great Pyramid, or anywhere else on the plateau for that matter. I have dreamt of such a discovery! The problem is this: firstly, there is nothing to directly link Plato's concept of Atlantis with Egypt; secondly, there is currently no proof that aliens have visited the earth, and, lastly, there is as yet no evidence that any such super crystal exists. Believe me, I wish the evidence was there, what a revelation that would be! All I can say is that when a crystal of this order is discovered, I'll let you know.

Many thanks to those who have helped me put this together, particularly Nigel Skinner Simpson, Greg Little, Rodney Hale, Filip Coppens and Dr Alaaeldin Shaheen.

Oh man...3 months and nothing on the news...I was hoping for the story to develop....

but seems like its just getting buried in sand

as for the poster above me...

I guess it woulda been too crazy to see alien technology in my lifetime = ( /cry

 

how convenient that is always comes down to that

 

And nobody thinks it's possible that the Egyptians just had very advanced building technology and the white man covered all Africa's advancements up when he raped it and enslaved millions of its people. Surely it's possible they're covering that up? Just an idea.

 

I wonder if they will ever disclose all the research they know about it

 

Well the interesting thing is the remains of some of Africa's ancient cities suggested they were pretty advanced. Like I'm pretty sure I saw something about that in like National Geographic at one point. Who knows I guess, but there must be lost truths regarding Africa's history, for sure.

 

WTF? Just another attempt to take credit away from the Jews.

 

There are many old, old sites on this planet where I find it hard to believe humans alone created them (at the very least without more advanced technology).

I mean



C'mon.

 

What's to say they weren't hallucinating and then drawing stuff like that though? Cave paintings are heardly a scientific basis for an argument like that? We have no idea if that thing actually existed in the physical world.
