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.
At this point in time in history, there are a lot of conspiracy theories about the pyramids and the megaliths. The reason why I think there are so many is because we do not honestly know very much about them. Therefore, everyone takes their chance at guessing and speculating about them. People are able to say their own opinions and theories. Also, we are human and we like to spread rumors and start crazy and sometimes illogical superstitions. One example of a theory about some of the megaliths is they were ancient burial grounds. I believe this is a fairly logical assumption based on the structures of theses megaliths and the remains found near some of them. Also, some are thought to be religious temples or sacrificial alters. This may or may not be true. The only thing we have to go by is animal remains found in some of the locations and again the structures of some of these megaliths. Although on the other hand, these megaliths might have been nothing but art. Plus, some people say that the pyramids have all sorts of traps and secret passages. Just think of all the sci-fi movies you have seen about ancient Egypt. Most if not all of that information is made up or only a theory. In this world, it is hard to know what exactly is real compared to what is only a theory or not even really at all. I believe the megaliths are not one type of thing, but different and unique. Each different one expresses the culture of the people who created them. This is what I believe.
