The Ancient Pyramids of Egypt and the Sphinx
These pyramids which are like those found around the world, without exception, were all built approximately 73,342 years ago. At that time planet Earth was 152.5 kilometers from the Sun. The pyramids of Giza were originally covered with a thick layer of limestone and mortar and because of this were higher than today when built. At the time of its completion the pyramid of Cheops was 152.5 meters tall, one meter representing one million kilometers of the distance from the Earth to the Sun.
All of these pyramids of very ancient times were built by human beings of extraterrestrial origin. These people came from the constellation Orion. The Egyptian pyramids show proof of this because they represent in their configuration an image of the belt of Orion. Also, the Sphinx is positioned in the direction of the constellation Leo and therefore has the body of a lion.
Over the course of thousands of years the outer layers of the pyramids were removed and used in the construction of other structures and erosion also took its toll on the shape and appearance of the original structures. The purpose of the pyramids changed many times and they were finally used as burial sites and cult temples. The hieroglyphs found written on them date back only to 2000-13,000 years ago.
These ancient pyramids were linked with huge underground rooms that formed underground villages that served as a place of safety from danger, including danger from outer space.

at a steeper angle (about 53°), it appears taller. It is 695 feet on a side at
the base and stands 450 feet high. Scholars estimate its
overall volume at a mind-boggling 58,100,000 cubic feet.
