Q: How could slaves possibly move those massive, massive blocks of stone.

A: The Egyptians had whips. Massive, massive whips.

This is what I believe as well.

Slaves.

actually, archaeological evidence shows the builders were in good health and not the typical poor health of slaves.
More like conscripts.

Also, evidence suggests the Jews who fled to Egypt to escape famine (and then later to escape the Babylonians) received refugee status in Egypt but were subject to missim and might have had a hand in building some of the pyramids.

They struck the obelisks like massive tuning forks and used the resultant sound waves to lift the rocks!

The grunt work I can understand. It just all those precise measurements(like the mayans & such). The pyramids were completely aligned with the sun. More aligned then we can do today without alot of work.

I think the extraterrestrials conspiracy theory is an insult to humans.

Anything great that we accomplished at the beginning of, or before written history is automatically attributed to aliens by small minded idiots who can't bring themselves to believe humans are capable of great things.
