Prior to the Great Depression the Roaring Twenties was a booming age because there was a boom in business and the excitement of popular fads. After World War I, America longed for what President Warren Harding called a “return to normalcy”. To Americans this meant the “good old days” before the war years. During the 1920’s, more Americans lived in cities than in rural areas and no longer were most people farmers. After the war business boomed and people worked in business and industry.President Calvin Coolidge declared the 1920, the “chief business of America is business”. During the Coolidge years business prospered and many Americans earned more money than ever before. Factories increased production to a growing demand for consumer goods such as washing machines , radios , and refrigerators. The largest boom was in the auto sales which gave rise to other industries. Cars needed steel, paint, tires and gasoline. New and better roads were built. Gas stations and restaurants appeared along the new roads. The housing industry began to boom as people moved out of the crowded cities and into the country or suburbs. New products such as cars changed the way of life for many Americans. They had freedom to visit other parts of the country. Radios and movies brought about other changes. New forms of entertainment were provided through radio programs and movies. The movies created new heroes and heroines. Hollywood grew into the movie capitol of the world. The 1920’s are sometimes labeled the jazz age because the new energetic kind of music reflected the spirit of the times. Jazz began among the black American musicians in New York and then swept the country and the world. Musicians such as Louis Armstrong won lasting fame for his contributions to jazz and helped fuel the Harlem Renaissance or rebirth of black culture.

The egyptologist Mark Lehner, an associate of Harvard's Semitic Museum, supports that the pyramids were built by humans.
According to National Geographic, there’s ample evidence that these tombs are the work of thousands of earthly hands.
There is archaeological evidence of their construction: remains of the quarries, roads, tools, records of the workers and the towns in which they lived.
Pyramid building was a long and complex process. The Great Pyramid is composed of roughly 2,300,000 blocks and was likely built in 23 years or less . The Egyptians were careful and precise architectural planners.
There is actually a lot of evidence of the ordinary people who performed the building work, who weren’t aliens, but most definitely Egyptian. The work force was organized by crews. Each gang was divided into five groups of 200 men called zaa, also known by the Greek name ‘phyle’. Within each phyle were ten divisions of twenty men. The gangs seems to have been competitive and they actually graffitied their names on the buildings! The stones from some pyramids have hieroglyphs inscribed on them as notes which consist of the date of transport, the workmen in charge of the block, and the stage of transport.
