Need a plate of generic, insipid platitudes with a giant helping of bad science and misogyny?

I love the hidden racism in those theories. Ancient Egyptians couldn't possibly have been smart enough to build the pyramids! It must've been aliens!

I suppose that's true for some people.

I revere Ancient Egyptians and think that the disbelief (not denial, mind you) of their accomplishments relates to the sophistication of their math and architecture skills. Same as my disbelief at Ancient Rome's ability to build a massive colosseum. How anyone could build anything massively impressive that still stands today before the Enlightenment astonishes me.
