The pyramids of Giza are old. Insanely old. They reigned as the tallest human-made structures on Earth for the majority of recorded history. Because of this, there have been countless theories as to how they were built, everything from water systems to aliens. But today, I’m going to make the argument that the pyramids were, in fact, not that complicated. No aliens required.
