Pyramids = Alien

[Big Phil]

There's quite a bit of alien-construction nonsense regarding Stonehenge. It just doesn't get as much press as the pyramids, because of course, the pyramids are more awesome.

Hollywood has made movies about Egyptian Pyramids = aliens (Stargate) and Mesoamerican skulls = aliens (Indiana Jones and I Shouldn't Have Made This Awful Film). None have been made about Europeans and aliens. Just because it's not overtly racist doesn't mean that the underlying racism isn't there.

[Marcus Aurelius]

The Pyramids are just iconic, so they spawn wild claims from people who don't understand just how primitive a design they actually are.

Many of these Pyramid nuts also do not know that there is clear progression in pyramid building to be seen from simple mastabas to stepped pyramids and then to "true" pyramids. The latter were actually build with two different techniques of which the easier, but less durable one was used mostly after the Fourth Dynasty and the Giza Pyramids. But then again your average pyramid nut probably has not even heard of the Bent Pyramid or the Red Pyramid (both built by Snofru before the pyramids at Giza), or the various Fifth and later dynasties pyramids at Saqqara, Abu Sir and other places.

What about Lifeforce, set in London with alien space vampires? Co-Produced by Golan-Globus, who were certainly players in the Hollywood market, starring Steve Railsback, a Hollywood actor...

...although if you wanted to put it more in the crimes against nature category and less in the movies category, it might be hard to argue with you...

What has that got to do with anything? You were just given an example of a culture that wasn't "dem brownies" having a popular alien conspiracy element regarding an ancient monument. Now your criterion is whether they have a Hollywood movie made out of them?

Your position is vacuous and impossible to dig up evidence for or against because it's such a blanket generalization and is entirely built on vague inferences.
