Many theories exist of how the pyramids were built and who build them. These theories range from aliens to slaves, from carving them, to digging around them, no one know for certain the method or who built them, however many Egyptologists believe along with physicists at the university of Amsterdam that by wetting the sand to an optimum degree reduces friction and allow for less effort to pull the a sledge loaded with a huge stone.

Other theories include side ramps, building earthen ramp against one side of the pyramid then moving it to the other, or simply by an alien advanced technology.

Finally Dr. Zahi Hawass a world-renowned archeologist noted that the pyramids were built by paid workers not slaves or some extraterrestrial beings when he discovered the Tombs of the Pyramid Builders at Giza and the Valley of the Golden Mummies at Bahariya Oasis.

Such an enormous structure, with so many years behind it is an awesome site to visit to research, the pyramids in particular and the Egyptian ancient civilization has so many more to offer to those who are fascinated by it. Egyptologists in renowned universities around the world will testify to how mysteries, amazing, and technologically advanced the pharos and the ancient Egyptians were. We are lucky we got the technology now that will help us scratch the surface and continually learn from the old Egyptian wisdom.
