Week 3 Wednesday

3. Why do you think so many conspiracy theories surround the pyramids and the megaliths? Give examples of a few and explain where you think they come from.

There are many conspiracy theories surrounding the pyramids and the megaliths. A reason for this is because these things are massive and would of taken forever to make in today’s times. These things were constructed in Ancient times and without our technology would have been a extremely laborious task. The pyramids were made using slave labor of thousands of slaves. There is no idea how the megaliths got there but there are many of theories. The stones are massive and way a ton. It would of taken forever to put up these stones and they have no idea where they came from because most of the time they are in fields where there are no other massive stones nearby. These stone were hauled in from miles away and people have no idea what they were used for. Some people believe the massive stone heads found on Easter Island are made to show appreciation for their leaders. They could also be tombs. The pyramids after exploration were where they burry the pharaohs. The Megaliths are also burial sites because they have found remains of humans and animals inside of them. The megaliths are also believed to be some sort of ancient sun dial. There are many conspiracy theories about the pyramids and megaliths due to their mysteriousness but some of the best explanations are that they are burial sites and giant sundials.
