Feb 9th Daily

Why do you think so many conspiracy theories surround the pyramids and the megaliths? Give examples of a few and explain where you think they come from.


There are many theories that come from the pyramids and megaliths throughout the years. A lot of people seem to think they are burial places for important people like kings, emperors, etc. Others think they were built to make sacrifices of animals and humans. There are so many different theories out there, but no one really knows why they were really built. I think there are so many different theories because of the ways that certain  megaliths were set up and built at the time they were created. For example, the Stonehenge. The Stonehenge looks a lot like a circle of rocks with rocks on top of rocks as if they were trying to make a rectangle with the ground. This could be used for many things like hanging people. The shape of the Stonehenge (circular) makes is seem as if it was a stage or an alter to sacrifice animals or humans. There are so many different theories on how and why megaliths like these came upon the world. There is also another megalith that really catches my eye with this topic of the theories-and that is the Rapa Nui megaliths on Easter Island, Chile. These statues are everywhere on the island. Some of the statues are in the shape of a human like object. This could lead to many theories like famous and important people from Easter Island were buried under all of these statues. There are so many different possibilities to these theories mainly because no one truly knows how these megaliths and pyramids came about and why the humans felt the need to create them. People are trying to figure this out, but they have no evidence; thus many theories come up.
