I have to admit, I have never given much thought at all to the pyramids or even knew there were theories about how they were built. I suppose I'll be going down that rabbit hole today.

Here's my 0.02. It wasn't aliens.

1. They're not that perfect. Look at the pic below. The one in the middle is about 50 meters from being centered getting them in a straight line. I'm not judging or criticizing. Obviously this was an amazing, unbelievable feat and their craftsmanship and ingenuity is beyond reproach....but it's not perfect.

2. Why would they do that? Just to [expletive] with us? Further, why are there hieroglyphics of normal every day stuff (like pornographic pictures) on the walls instead of aliens?

3. The straight line thing can probably be explained a little bit by them not actually being in a straight line but more in a general lattitude and that makes sense as humanity was probably (maybe?) clustered in the temperate zones along that latitude. And, humans are humans. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if despite slow and cumbersome travel, ideas, especially religious beliefs, traveled around.

4. Still, it's hard to reconcile how they were built with the tools we presume they had. There's likely something missing from our understanding. AT least I find that (us not fully understanding what happened) a lot more probable than aliens coming in and building these things.

They actually align with the stars in the constellation Orion's belt...

People have said that, but it's far from a given that it's what it is.

And, it's not a lot of them...just one or two graphics that could be interpreted that way.

If that's the case, they built it upside down!

Not if you are on the ground looking up as opposed to looking at them from over-head...
