Hi Qoais,

I actually don't subscribe to any of the explanations that giants or aliens built the pyramids.  Nor telepathy or harmonics.  I admit that some of that stuff is entertaining, but until there is actual evidence for any of it (as of now, there isn't), I prefer to keep my feet firmly grounded in reality.  I do give Atlantis some chance of responsibility for them, though, if only because Manetho's king's list seems to suggest that the original God-Kings of Egypt were new to the land and because the research of people like Joe Jochmans ("How Old are the Pyramids?") makes a good deal of sense to me.  I also don't buy Vyse's entries into his diary and believed he committed forgery in order to claim a find.

All of this is a far cry from the supernatural attributes usually given to Egypt, though, but then, I don't believe Egypt needs those elements to be attractive - a secret history, yet to be unravelled is enough for me.
