The egyptian pyramids were not built by extraterrestrials

Contention 1: "religion and aliens" the religion of scientology: In fact, the religion of scientology is a fraud! Its aim is to gain money. In order to achieve this, it practices a variety of mind-control techniques on people to take control of their lives. more info: http://www.xenu.net... Wikiquote states: " Scientology has been widely criticized as a cult that financially defrauds and abuses its members. The church of Scientology has also been accused of harassing its critics, and gas consistently used litigation against them" [1] Even the creator of this "religion" said: "You don't get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion." ( Response to a question from the audience during a meeting of the Eastern Science Fiction Association on (7 November 1948), as quoted in a 1994 affidavit by Sam Moskowitz.) Other witnesses [1]: The incident is stamped indelibly in my mind because of one statement that Ron Hubbard made. What led him to say what he did I can't recall — but in so many words Hubbard said: "I'd like to start a religion. That's where the money is!" (L. Ron Hubbard to Lloyd A. Eshbach, in 1949; as quoted by Eshbach in his autobiography Over My Shoulder: Reflections On A Science Fiction Era (1983)) "Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wanted to make a million dollars, the best way to do it would be start his own religion." (As quoted in the article "Scientology: Anatomy of a Frightening Cult" by Eugene H. Methvin. Reader's Digest (May 1980) "I always knew he was exceedingly anxious to hit big money — he used to say he thought the best way to do it would be to start a cult." (Sam Merwin, Editor of Thrilling Science Fiction magazine Winter of 1946-47; quoted in Bare-Faced Messiah, The True Story of L. Ron Hubbard (1987) by Russell Miller) Raelism: Raelism is a religion of 70,000 members in 97 countries and is based on the testimony of a french race-car driver and former pop star..[2] OK, obviously we can not imply that these "religions" consist an indisputable proof of the alien's existence, neither can we rely on them and believe that we are the descendants of extraterrestrials.. Annunoki: Once again, we can not rely on a religion that could possibly be just a story made up by those who had the power in order to gain control over people and believe that the aliens helped humanity. And no, the fact we have found an ancient text where someone referred to the visit of aliens on earth and the technology they gave us, doesn't make it any reliable at all. Book of Ezekiel: "We can see here that even the most popular religion on the face of the planet that is still alive today has seen that Ezekiel has seen Ancient Aliens!" But, in fact, these visions were breathtaking glimpses of the glory of Almighty god! Ezekiel's vision: The prophet Ezekiel was one of the captives of the Babylonian conquest in 606 B.C. As the book opens, it is the thirtieth year (probably the thirtieth year of his own life) and the prophet is in Babylon by the river Chebar. The “heavens were opened” and, the prophet declares, “I saw visions of God.” As the dramatic scenes began to unfold, Ezekiel saw the likeness of four living creatures. They were similar in appearance to men, except that they had four faces—one like a man, one like a lion, one like an ox, and one like an eagle (v. 10). They had hands like men, but feet as calves (vv. 7-8); and each creature had four wings—two of which covered the body (v. 11) and two of which stretched upward supporting “the likeness of a firmament” (vv. 22-23). Their appearance also was like burning coals of fire and their movements appeared as flashes of lightening (vv. 13-14). Beneath these four living creatures were four wheels. Each wheel was fashioned as “a wheel within a wheel” and it could move in four directions without turning. Moreover, the rims of the wheels were “full of eyes” (vv. 15-18). Above all of this was a throne upon which sat one who had the “appearance of a man” and who was surrounded by a fiery and glorious brightness (vv. 26-28). Overpowered by the spectacle, Ezekiel fell upon his face. Evidence that Ezekiel does not describe UFOs: Verse 1: " I saw visions of god" The four living creatures: Ezekiel explains that these creatures are not aliens but heavenly cherubim: “And the cherubim mounted up; this is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar” (10:15, 20). The throne: Ezekiel explains: “This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Jehovah” (v. 28). In the book of Erich von Daniken, Chariots of the Gods (and the subsequent movie of the same title), the author supports that Ezekiel 1 contains a biblical description of flying saucers visiting earth from outer space. However, careful study of this chapter thoroughly refutes von Daniken’s absurd theory. More info about the meaning of the vision:https://www.christiancourier.com... Bep Kororoti : Actually, the image does not depict Bep Kororoti but a great martinian god.[3] Bep Koroti was symbolized by a straw man In standard anthropological reports of Claude Levi-Strauss, Bep Kororoti is correctly identified not as an ancient astronaut but as a human being, a deceased shaman who exercises spiritual power from beyond the grave.[4] Furthermore, Bep Kororoti is the protector of bees in Kayapo myth. That's why he wears this suit that makes him look like a beekeeper! [4] Contention 2: Pyramids all over the world pop up at the same time. Picture 1 [5]: The Egyptians were careful and precise architectural planners. Even buildings much older than the pyramids were laid out using an exact measuring system based on a unit called a cubit (about 52.5 cm, which could be further divided into smaller units called palms). Representations of foundation ceremonies for temples show this measuring process, called the ‘stretching of the cord’, being done using ropes tied to wooden pegs pounded into the ground. Many round holes that may have been for measuring pegs have been found cut into the bedrock around the foundations of pyramids and their temples. The angle of inclination (seqed in Egyptian) for the sloped faces of the pyramids was clearly calculated by the Egyptians using a simple and precise method. The Rhind Mathematical Papyrus shows that seqed was defined as the relation between the horizontal setback of the wall and the vertical rise of 1 cubit. As we can see, the Egyptians created everything so precisely that this picture should not surprise us Picture 2: I mentioned this method in order to show that there are ways to align perfectly a pyramid. As I said, the techniques used by the Egyptians have evolved over the years and there was not only one.. A more recent theory advocated by Kate Spence suggests that the architects of the Great Pyramid sighted on two stars (b-Ursae Minoris and z-Ursae Majoris), rotating around the North Pole, which would have been in alignment when Khufu’s pyramid was constructed.[5] Picture 3: If I have understood what my opponent wants to say, he supports that the photograph on the left and not right shows the sun being exactly between the two pyramids. He says that in order to achieve this Egyptians had to have some high knowledge that they didn't. But the Egyptians constructed the pyramids in this position for other reasons and not because they wanted for the sun to be in the middle of them. This phenomenon was not created intentionally but exists by chance. Picture 4: Once again, the sun just shines onto the Sphinx. This doesn't prove anything. And in fact, it doesn't follow the outline of the Sphinx, it's just behind it and this is why we can not see the statue. "Other crazy evidence": Actually, there are not any sources mentioned and this is why I have no reason to believe what my opponent states.. But, let's suppose for a while that the evidence is valid: "if you take the perimeter of the pyramid devided by two times the heighth you wind up with pi.A number that doesn't come into relivence at that time" This is something that reveals nothing. This is a complex operation that proves nothing. And what if you wind up with pi? Does this fact mean anything? No.. " Also if we take the average pryamid heighth of 481 feet, we can see that it's exactly 1 1 billionth of that of the distance between the Earth and the sun" Again, it's just a coincidence that means nothing.. "They were also very historical as they kept track of everything they did. Tell me why they didn't record the construction and such of the pyramids?" In fact they did.. This way, we can suppose the methods they used. History for kids states: "Because the Egyptians kept religious and government records, we are able to read about the building of some of these pyramids." Finally, I would like to apologize for the presentation of my arguments but every time I try to change even the size of the letters it says that there's an error and there was no other way to post this round.
