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.
Answer:
Relations between the Soviet Union and the United States were driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and economic factors, which led to shifts between cautious cooperation and often bitter superpower rivalry over the years. The distinct differences in the political systems of the two countries often prevented them from reaching a mutual understanding on key policy issues and even, as in the case of the Cuban missile crisis, brought them to the brink of war.
The United States government was initially hostile to the Soviet leaders for taking Russia out of World War I and was opposed to a state ideologically based on communism. Although the United States embarked on a famine relief program in the Soviet Union in the early 1920s and American businessmen established commercial ties there during the period of the New Economic Policy (1921–29), the two countries did not establish diplomatic relations until 1933. By that time, the totalitarian nature of Joseph Stalin's regime presented an insurmountable obstacle to friendly relations with the West. Although World War II brought the two countries into alliance, based on the common aim of defeating Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union's aggressive, antidemocratic policy toward Eastern Europe had created tensions even before the war ended.
The Soviet Union and the United States stayed far apart during the next three decades of superpower conflict and the nuclear and missile arms race. Beginning in the early 1970s, the Soviet regime proclaimed a policy of détente and sought increased economic cooperation and disarmament negotiations with the West. However, the Soviet stance on human rights and its invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 created new tensions between the two countries. These tensions continued to exist until the dramatic democratic changes of 1989–91 led to the collapse during this past year of the Communist system and opened the way for an unprecedented new friendship between the United States and Russia, as well as the other new nations of the former Soviet Union.
