Secretary of the Supreme Council of Egyptian Antiquities, Mostafa Waziri, rejected the statements of the American billionaire, Elon Musk, in which he said, "It is clear that aliens built the pyramids."
Minister said, in the first official Egyptian comment on the statements that the American billionaire mentioned, in a tweet on his account on the social networking site «Twitter», that “these words are completely naked, and the pyramids built by pure Egyptian hands, and there is a village for Egyptian workers who participated in construction work And construction ».
Minister added, in telephone statements from the United States of America, that there is a papyrus called Wadi Al-Jarf, talking about the chief of workers, and the number of workers who were working in building the pyramids, noting that the quarries from which stones were brought to date exist, as well as the tools that were used in Building.
He continued, saying: "It is a shame that some people talk about the construction of pyramids by creatures from space, and whoever says these words is completely wrong."
He pointed out that the miracles in architecture and arts in ancient Egypt do not stop at the pyramids, pointing to the miracles in the tombs of the Valley of the Kings, and the tombs of the Valley of the Queens.
Waziri asked, "What about art in these tombs, and what about Ramses II's temple carved in the mountain in Abu Simbel, and the miracle of many Egyptian monuments?"
In turn, Egyptian researchers and archaeologists warned against the emergence of more "suspicious theories" about ancient Egyptian civilization.
Egyptian researchers and experts in Luxor, who are rich in hundreds of tombs and dozens of ancient temples in Upper Egypt, called for the establishment of an Egyptian national observatory to monitor what is published in the international media, and through social media sites of false information and suspicious theories.
They said that these theories aim to undermine the ancient Egyptian civilization, and to question its scientific, engineering and artistic achievements, and the huge human heritage that it left, which is represented in the pyramids, temples, tombs, drawings and sculptures that document the details of daily life in ancient Egypt, and tell the generations what this civilization has achieved scientific progress An interesting engineering and technician thousands of years ago.
The Egyptian Egyptologist, Dr. Mansour Al-Noubi, the president of the Egyptian Association for Tourism and Archeology Ayman AbuZayd, the researcher and the tour guide Mohamed Abdel Hamid, the expert expert and head of the Committee for Marketing of Cultural Tourism Mohamed Othman, agreed on the need to respond to these theories regarding the civilization and antiquities of ancient Egypt.
They revealed many false and suspicious theories, which were promoted during the past years about the civilization of ancient Egypt, among which were that the pyramids were built with a system of forced labor, and that Tutankhamun is not Egyptian. The researchers demanded the cessation of any DNA analyzes taken from the ancient mummies of the Egyptians, and the involvement of Egypt in any research in this regard, with a view to countering the misconceptions about the rulers and peoples of ancient Egypt.
The great Egyptologist, Dr. Zahi Hawas, recently protested that the British newspapers published articles linking the British throwing a statue of a slave trader in the waters of the river, during demonstrations against the British police violence against blacks, and between building the pyramids, and the claim that the Egyptian pyramids were built by slaves . Hawass declared that the British newspapers' comment on casting a slave trader statue in the river and linking it with the pyramids, and that it was built with forced labor, is ridiculous, because the pyramids were not built with forced labor.
In a statement issued to respond to the allegations of the British press regarding the building of the pyramids, Hawas stressed that revealing the tombs of the workers of the pyramids, which were found under the foot of the pyramids, assures the entire world that the pyramids were not built with forced labor.
It is noteworthy that the Nile from the Egyptian pyramids, and spreading rumors and falsehoods about its construction, is a recurring matter in many foreign media outlets, which publish articles, and offers offers for books carrying allegations that promote ideas from the imagination of her writers who seek either fame, or to achieve the goals of suspicious institutions, seeking To question the leadership that the ancient Egyptians enjoyed in all kinds of sciences and arts in engineering, astronomy, drawing, sculpture, medicine, and architecture, such as the repeated allegations that the pyramids built them from the sky.
False and suspicious theories have been promoted about the civilization of ancient Egypt, among them that the pyramids were built with the system of forced labor, and that Tutankhamun is not Egyptian.
