The pyramid builders.
Both Egyptian and South American (Maya) cultures tell us that they did NOT construct the pyramids themselves but that they just “occupied” and re-used them. They both talk about a time BEFORE their own time.So both talk about an EARLIER civilization of which they (and we) don’t really know much about, although they revere them as gods, giants or extra-terrestrians. Who were they and how did they do it? Two questions that can be considered still unanswered (and definitely NEVER confirmed by any modern day empiric trials).

No, it is not true that Egyptians claim to have “found” the pyramid of Giza; this is a claim from fringe theories and misinterpretations, while mainstream Egyptian archaeologists and historians confirm that the ancient Egyptians built it themselves. Evidence, including on-site quarries, tools, ancient records like Merer’s journal, and the existence of workers’ villages, all point to the ancient Egyptians as the builders.

- Ancient Egyptian evidence: Ancient records, such as the journal of Merer, detail the transport of goods for the final construction of the Great Pyramid, showing it was built during the time of Pharaoh Khufu.
- Archaeological evidence: Archaeological findings, such as the quarries and workers’ villages right next to the pyramids, provide direct proof of the monumental construction project carried out by the ancient Egyptians.
- Modern evidence: Modern archaeological experiments have successfully recreated how ancient Egyptians could have cut and transported the massive stones using the tools and techniques available at the time.
- Fringe theories: Claims of “finding” the pyramids usually come from fringe theories that are not supported by evidence and are debunked by experts in the field.

However this one and only “official” hypothesis (as told by Zahi Hawass and other “experts”) doesn’t add up and doesn’t convince. Surprisingly (or not) the old-skool “experts” don’t listen to, don’t accept and don’t even allow alternative hypotheses. Why not? In science new hypotheses are always welcomed as additional stimulus to continue investigating, possible new answers and possible new progress. Why not in archeology? What is there to loose? …or to hide?
Geoglyphs
Ancient geoglyph building projects, such as those of the Nazca in Peru and various societies in the Amazon, involved creating large-scale figures by removing earth or building earthen mounds. These projects required significant organization and effort, with functions likely related to ceremonial, ritualistic, or symbolic purposes, and their creation suggests a society with regional organization and cultural traditions. While their exact purpose remains a subject of study, evidence points to them being integrated into the spiritual and social life of these ancient peoples.
