Perhaps not a single structure on earth raises so many questions both from the official scientist of the world and from a huge number of supporters of alternative theories, like the Egyptian pyramids. Official science considers the pyramids to be huge burial complexes, the practical purpose of which was to support the idea of the divinity of the supreme ruler. Actually, that's all.
Representatives of official science like to dwell on the topics of how the pyramids were built, why their angles are exactly the same and not different; about why they are oriented according to the stars or cardinal points, and so on. And everything seems to be true and correct, but somehow too simple. To show the greatness of power, even in that dense and not quite enlightened time, there was no need to arm such Cyclopean buildings. In the nearby Mesopotamia, the people also fanatically believed in the gods, and also obeyed the authorities, however, this did not require such monstrous expenditures in materials and man-hours as the pyramids.
Indeed, such structures were very expensive for the treasury (and for the entire state as a whole). The construction time of the pyramid is estimated at 20-30 years and it was not yet built by slaves. It was built by free Egyptians, that is, several thousand, and possibly tens of thousands of workers had to be torn away from their direct duties, and sent to government construction, while providing them with housing and food, which was a double loss for the country's economy.
Why were such structures created? Among the many options and interpretations of both their construction and their true purpose, there are those that do not at all fit into the modern scientific picture. The Pyramid of Cheops is the largest and most mysterious of all buildings of this type. Let's consider some interesting aspects of its design and construction.
It is estimated that the pyramid consists of approximately one and a half million blocks, each weighing from 500 kg to 30 tons. If we take the construction time of about 20 years, then, according to the most rough estimates, it was necessary to spend about 3 minutes to install one unit. That is, the entire cycle from cutting a block in a quarry, grinding and transporting it, installing it on a solution in a pyramid and final adjustment should be such that one block is born every 3 minutes. To put it mildly, it is very difficult to imagine what level the automation of the process and its control should reach in order to maintain the pace of construction for twenty years and to have everything on time. But, unambiguously, there have been cases of marriage and damage to units during transportation and installation.
The details of each stage of production, transportation and installation of blocks are no less interesting. Could the ancient Egyptians, who possessed only primitive tools of labor, who did not yet know how to work iron, could make blocks with such high quality and with such speed and deliver them to the place of construction? For example, the blocks in the pyramids have been preserved to this day, the degree of polishing of which exceeds even modern technologies; granite, which is used to decorate the premises inside the pyramid, is not only perfectly fitted at the joints of the blocks, it is also polished almost to a completely flat surface. It would not be logical to assume that the construction was led by those who were at least several thousand years ahead in the development of the technology of Ancient Egypt.
Inside, the pyramid has a very complex structure, and its creation would be impossible without pre-created projects and drawings. Even traces of such drawings, or at least something remotely similar to them, have not been found anywhere. Of course, this can be explained by issues of security and protection of the pyramid from robbers. But after all, some information and drawings (even for the possible repair of the last shelter of the pharaoh) should have been preserved!
The most interesting fact in the classical explanation of the purpose of the pyramid (as the tomb of the pharaoh) is that the pharaoh himself was not buried in it, but in a small building near it. Why, then, was this greatest creation of the architecture of the Ancient World created? Nobody can give a definite answer to this question. There are several alternative versions of the purpose of this structure.

According to one of them, the pyramid is a communication device for some ancient extraterrestrial civilization, whose representatives used our planet several thousand years ago for their intermediate base. And it is quite possible that the pharaohs and priests of Ancient Egypt were, if not its representatives, then at least their descendants. After all, the idea of the divine origin of the pharaohs existed almost all the time of the existence of Ancient Egypt. If we were talking about hundreds of years, then the explanation of this fact would fit well into the so often used paradigm of the divine origin of power found in all cultures of the peoples of the Earth. However, for a myth to exist for thousands of years, very good reasons are needed; here one cannot do with the "commandments of the ancestors" - the people would need constant proof of the divine origin of the rulers.
According to another version, the Cheops pyramid is a device for accumulating and transforming some kind of energy unknown to us, used by aliens to refuel their spaceships. In view of the very interesting properties of pyramid-like objects in terms of deflection and focusing of various types of radiation, this version has a right to exist. Studies have already been carried out showing that inside the pyramids some physical processes occur somewhat differently than outside them. This applies to the acceleration or deceleration of chemical reactions, changes in the magnetic field and other phenomena.
An interesting fact supporting the extraterrestrial origin of the pyramids and pharaohs is that many pharaohs even outwardly were quite different from the ordinary inhabitants of Egypt. First of all, we are talking about the elongated shape of the skull, which many pharaohs hid behind extravagant headdresses. And it would be possible to talk about some kind of genetic anomaly, if among the pharaohs there were no such who were not the direct descendants of those who ruled before them.
The mysteries of the pyramids will continue to haunt the minds of researchers for a long time. It is possible that for more than one hundred years mankind will not receive answers to many questions, because every year more and more new, previously unknown facts are revealed. Perhaps the clues will be found in the most unexpected places far from the pyramids, for example, in near-earth space?
