Is for Pyramids

P is for the Pyramids—you’ve heard all the craziest stories,

That they’re Atlantean power stations or ancient alien laboratories.

Why are there so many of them on every continent, of a similar variety?

Just a fluke of architecture, or remnants of a forgotten global society?

Just about everyone’s familiar with the three iconic pyramids that dominate Egypt’s Giza Plateau. The largest and oldest of these, the Great Pyramid, is the last surviving wonder of the ancient world and, according to most Egyptologists, was built by hundreds of thousands of workers as a tomb for the Fourth Dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Khufu around 2560 BCE. However, that narrative has been questioned recently by researchers who claim that the Giza pyramids—and similar structures around the world—are thousands of years older than mainstream archaeology suggests, serving a far different purpose than simply being monuments to dead rich guys.

Unlike many ancient Egyptian tombs and temples that are covered in hieroglyphics and illustrations, the walls of the pyramids are virtually blank. Since no bodies or other artifacts have ever been found there, Egyptologists base their entire reasoning for the age and purpose of the Great Pyramid on a tiny piece of Khufu-related graffiti and construction items that could have easily been left at the site well after its initial construction. And speaking of that construction, it’s far more complex and mathematically precise than any later Egyptian architectural work, positioned at the exact geographical center of the Earth’s landmass, with its multi-ton blocks fitting impeccably together and the corners of its base perfectly aligned with the four cardinal compass points. So does that mean that Egyptians defied all conventional logic about how civilizations develop and somehow got worse at building stuff as the centuries went on? Or do the pyramids actually predate Egypt as we understand it, to a time when most archaeologists believe that building such structures would have been impossible?

Using astronomical data, author Robert Bauval proposed in the 1970s that the layout of the Giza pyramids was in precise alignment with the three stars that form the “belt” of the constellation Orion—as they would have appeared around twelve thousand years ago. Evidence of water erosion at the base of the nearby Great Sphinx, according to geologist Robert M. Schoch, would place the lion-shaped monument at roughly the same time period. Together, the pyramids, Sphinx, and Nile River accurately reflect Orion, fellow constellation Leo, and the Milky Way Galaxy during the astronomical Age of Leo, which began during the last Ice Age. In the 1990s, author Graham Hancock combined Bauval’s and Schoch’s observations to theorize that the Giza Plateau was once home to a forgotten, technologically superior progenitor civilization that was wiped out by a cataclysm around 11,800 years ago.

Hancock claims that evidence of this advanced society—similar to the one Plato described in his tales of Atlantis—exists not just at Giza, but across the world. The Mesoamerican pyramids at Teotihuacan in
