5 Crazy Conspiracies About Ancient Egypt

Having already discussed the possibilities of a secret room full of ancient records and the potential age of the Sphinx, we now look at rumours as to who built it. There are no markings, carvings or evidence of a name placement on the Sphinx, which is extremely rare for Ancient Egypt, as Pharaoh's liked to carve their name in history with monuments and hieroglyphic stories. This means we can never be exactly sure who built it or even when.

Following historic star graphs and sky mapping, the Sphinx was found to be built exactly in line with the Leo star constellation, which is rumoured by conspiracy theorists to be the home of the reptilian alien race the Annunaki. The positioning of the Sphinx was calculated perfectly through mathematics and astronomy, but internet theorists state that the Egyptians must have been taught these skills by a superior race. The Egyptian God, Sobek, is even depicted as being a humanoid figure with a reptilian, crocodile-like head.

Mathematics is viewed as a universal language because no matter what you speak or where you're from, the sum of an equation won't change. This concept is broadened to the universe as a whole and theorists think that aliens could use mathematics to communicate with us if the allusive 'first contact' is ever made. As a result, the Egyptians having advanced mathematics before their time could be interpreted as evidence of extrateresstrial contact.
