11 Seriously Bizarre Conspiracy Theories

Ahh, people love a good pyramid conspiracy.

The building of these great monuments has been attributed to everyone from the Illuminati to aliens and a lot of people don't seem to be able to get their head around how the hell they could have come about.

The favourite "mysteries" surrounding the pyramids generally tend to include:

1. How could people from the olden days have built such enormous structures (Hint: slave labour and an enormous disposable workforce)

2. Well then, why do they appear all over the world? (Hint: A pyramid is a good way of piling stones up so that they last a long time. Lots of cultures discovered this)

3. Okay, but why then do Egyptian hieroglyphs depict them conversing with alien beings in the sky? (Hint: Gods, maybe? No?)

To be honest, the only really weird thing about the pyramids is why they seem to blow everybody's minds so much. 

If you actually think about it for more than five minutes, it becomes blindingly obvious that piling some rocks up very high was entirely within the remit of ancient man, particularly when half of them were slaves and the other half were holding very big whips.
