re: Does this ancient Egyptian manuscript show a UFO landing on the Sphinx?

What about the theory that sub-Saharan Africans built the pyramids?

I used to laugh at the idea that sub-Saharan blacks, who never invented the wheel or written language, built the pyramids. I still laugh at that idea. But I have been laughing ever so slightly less hard ever since I learned a little known fact about the Egyptians a week ago.

If you can believe it or not, Egyptians could never figure out how to invent the wheel. Yes, Egyptians actually were too stupid to invent the wheel, just like sub-Saharan Africans.

Europe, Middle East and Europe all had the wheel by 4500 BC. In 1500 BC, the Saudi Arabian Hyskos had to explain to Egypt what the wheel was, because the Egyptians were too stupid to have invented the wheel by that point. Or even copy a very simple machine that their neighbors had been using for the previous 3000 years.

The pyramids almost all predate the presence of the wheel in Egypt. Historians are pretty much clueless about how the Egyptians transported the building materials for the pyramids. The main theory is that the Egyptians used a sled-yes, a sled in the desert- to transport the materials.

Maybe the alien theories need to be taken more seriously, since we can't explain how the wheelless Egyptians would have moved their building materials. Can't say that the idea of UFOs creating pyramids is that much more unrealistic than the idea of people dragging extremely heavy materials hundreds of miles by sled in a desert.
