Question: 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 reasons for the large conspiracy theories surrounding the pyramids and megaliths. Many pyramids have several graves embedded in it or a memorial. One example is of the pyramid that holds the tomb of Pharoh, there are many different myths. Usually we associate graves with ghosts and others spiritual things. The Egyptians’ religion is based on the presence of people from the afterlife or even there being an afterlife. Pyramids are very methodical to us because of the Egyptians and their beliefs. One of which was Na, this is a spirit that comes to the body of a dead Egyptian and prepares them to meet the gods for judgment. Megaliths are also very popular for memorial or burial sites. This is because of graves that were found in these monuments and the different artifacts. The pyramids are also known for afterlife citing’s. Hyrogliphyics are also found on tomb walls and on the tombs themselves. Depending on your beliefs this could symbolize an afterlife. We also do not always know what happens in history, we only have clues to what, has or will happen.
