I had heard of a conspiracy theory that aliens had built the pyramids, so I decided to do some thorough research ....... and can you believe it, the internet had the truth all along...... . Firstly, the great pyramid is lined up exactly with the magnetic North Pole (not sure why they didn't set it to true north.... but that's aliens for you I guess?), a difference of only 16 minutes, or some absurdly small number like that. COINCIDENCE? How could the Egyptians possibly have built their pyramid facing the exact magnetic North Pole without even having a compass? This is how it really worked: Those aliens, abundant in their knowledge and drowning in technology, came along and using their compasses, they landed on earth and found the actual magnetic north and south poles. THEN THEY BUILT THE PYRAMIDS!
Now look at this: the Great Pyramid of Giza, and its neighbor, as seen from the viewpoint of the Sphinx, on the evening of the summer solstice, the sun sets in the exact center of the two pyramids. COINCIDENCE??? For the Egyptians to be able to do this, they must have known the day of the summer solstice, and they therefore, must have known the exact length of the year, or 365.25; once again, a fact not discovered until long after the Egyptians were gone. HOW LIKELY IS THAT??? The real story goes like this: Those meddling aliens, in all of their infinite wisdom, saw the earth upon entering the solar system, and by calculating the size of its revolutions around the sun, the velocity it was at which it traveled and the angle of its axis of rotation, they were able to easily calculate the longest day of the year or the length of the year. THEN BUILT THE PYRAMIDS! -
A Different type of puzzle for those that enjoy that kind of thing.
Each brick = the sum of the 2 bricks it is resting on. You need to work out what numbers form the bottom level.
(The numbers in the bottom level are between 1 and 9)
