However, Egypt’s international co-operation minister does not want them taking any of the credit.
MSN reports: Scientists are still unsure how the Egyptian pyramids were constructed before modern technology, given that the millions of stones used would be hard to move without cranes.
This has helped to fuel the unproven conspiracy theory that aliens had a hand in their construction.
But experts say there is plenty of evidence the pyramids were built by human hands, even if it is not clear how.
Egypt’s minister of international co-operation, Rania al Mashat, has invited Musk to visit the tombs of the pyramid builders to see for himself.
“I follow your work with a lot of admiration. I invite you and Space X to explore the writings about how the pyramids were built and also to check out the tombs of the pyramid builders,” she said.
“Mr Musk, we are waiting for you.”
The billionaire tech mogul’s remark was also refuted by Egyptologist Zahi Hawass, who dismissed the claim as “complete hallucination”.
Mr Musk later appeared to acknowledge that the pyramids may not have been built by aliens, when he tweeted: “The Great Pyramid was the tallest structure made by humans for 3,800 years. Three thousand, eight hundred years.”
He then posted a link to an article about the pyramid builders.

So stupid and so insulting abd ill bet he doesn’t even really believe it but is playing up to the cia and the elite who want w everyone to think we need to spend trillions protecting ourselves from the aliens And dumb arses fall for it all, thanks to you tubes mass propaganda,hook line and stinker. Pharoah had thousands of slaves They had nothing else to do all day long.Rhey had rhe sane zpissibly better braubs ,definitely healrhier vrains than cobtempirary peooke who are styffed thanks to vaccines medications, emf ,radiation x rays, drugs and ” education ” .Rhey knew what square was and could do maths and had astronomers .
Show us. Lift up few 1000 ton rocks. I would love to see it.
In his defence there is no proof of how any of the ancient structures were constructed world wide. There are many that are yet to be discovered. The ‘experts’ arent always right, they all just agree on a proposed theory. There are far more retarded ideas of our history than aliens though, Like religion and god for example. If you believe in any gods and religious stories then you are a complete fucking retard that eats there own shit, and you probably fuck kids like all religitards.
I believe in God.
Giants and fallen angels did but hey you can make more money off the alien thing.
He is correct . This planet has had visitation and colonization from other entities since life began.
