Far too many idiots believe the grifters known as "ancient alien theorists".
The mystery of the pyramids really comes down to that pointy tip that no longer exists.
See, a flat topped pyramid is actually fairly straightforward to build. A pointy pyramid with straight sides is not.
None of the current mainstream theories of pyramid construction can actually account for that pointy tip and the very large stones found just below said tip.
An external ramp would eventually be made of multiple times more material than the pyramid you were working on, and would cover the sides, making the alignment of the tip impossible.
An internal ramp can not put a tip in place. Also, recent experiments with placing nutrino detector all around the Great Pyramid have given us a sort of MRI, and there's no evidence of an internal ramp.
In both cases, alignment and straightness are basically impossible.
It's this gap in knowledge that the grifters use to make people dumber, while taking their cash.
Thankfully there's a fairly new theory of pyramid construction that actually explains everything fairly neatly.
You build a step pyramid with built in ramps that's larger than your final pyramid, then disassemble it from the top down as you smooth the sides. You don't have to align the tip with the sides, you just make the tip perfect and maintain that angle as you work downward.
The removed stone then gets used in the next, smaller, pyramid. And since the Egyptians absolutely loved recycling things into other things, it makes sense on a cultural level as well.
