Elon Musk questioned the abilities of the ancient Egyptians. The head of SpaceX and Tesla suggested that the Great Pyramids were created by aliens.
He wrote about it on Twitter.
TASS reports that in the homeland of the pharaohs there was an immediate reaction to the issue.
I invite you and SpaceX to explore how the pyramids were built, as well as to see the graves of the builders of the pyramids. Mr. Mask, we are waiting for you! ”Said Egyptian Minister of International Cooperation Rania al-Mashat to an American businessman.
Ancient Egyptian archaeologist and historian Zahi Havas called Musk's statement a "hallucination."
He noted that inside the Great Pyramid there are inscriptions about the builders of the pyramid:
“I found the graves of those who built them. It says that these people were Egyptians and were not slaves. All the tombs around the Great Pyramids commemorate the Pyramid of Cheops and Pharaoh himself.
