Summary: Were the pyramids the work of extraterrestrials? No, of course they weren't, but why do some people and internet memes seem to think otherwise? Turns out there's a simple answer and a more complex answer, and Anna and Amber get into all of it, starting with a look at Erich von Däniken, author of Chariots of the Gods? and literal criminal. Anna looks at the violence done through denying that people produced the pyramids (like, any of them), and what's going on with Amarna period art in Egypt. in an extra-long episode over on Patreon, Anna gets into the Nazca lines and Ata the "alien" mummy, while Amber looks at what real Sumerian sources say about the planet Nabiru and the Annunaki, and gets very, very real about the short walk from the ideas put forth by Zecharia Sitchin to antisemitic conspiracy theories.
