    It started with “we have no idea how they did it”. Then over time it morphed into “we have several hypotheses but don’t know if it any of those is realistic”. The current state of things is still there regarding the construction technique itself.

    In the meantime the village where construction workers lived has been found. Now we know the profile or people who built the pyramids, how they lived and what they ate. Even some details about work organization.

    All of this still didn’t propagate into the popular culture which is still stuck in the 1980s regarding pyramid knowledge.

      Of course! Because otherwise it would mean all the mystique is gone! And if the mistique is gone, people can’t imagine they’re supposed to be starship landing pads!

      Or lay-line powered aura cleansing structures.

      Or part of an ancient technology global warning system.

      Or a physical star chart pointing to the origins of the Egyptians.

      Or hydrogen fusion power generators.

      Or piezoelectric resonance generators.

      Or… Some… Other things I probably forgot about. But it’s certainly, beyond a shadow of a doubt, NOT a tomb of some egotistical man that believed himself a god on the Earth!
