Egypt invites Elon Musk to see for himself pyramids “not built by aliens”

Αrchaeologist and Egyptologist Dr Zahi Hawass posted a video in response to Mr Musk's claim

Newsroom August 3 12:52

Entrepreneur Elon Musk, who has a habit of making outlandish comments both in person and on social media, has been invited to pay a visit to Egypt after he tweeted that the pyramids were built by aliens.

Was the 49-year-old boss off SpaceX and Tesla being serious when he tweeted that the structures, which experts say were build by humans 4,000 years ago, were constructed by aliens, “obv”?

Who knows.

Either way, the tweet, which was retweeted more than 80,000 times, was enough for him to receive an upbraiding by experts who suggested he ought not be making such claims or conspiracy theories.

It also earned him an invitation from Egypt’s Minister of International Co-operation, Rania al-Mashat, to learn more for himself, perhaps in person.
