Why do you think so many conspiracy theories surround the pyramids and the megaliths? Give examples of a few and explain where you think they come from.

              A conspiracy theory is a theory that explains why an unpredicted event might have been caused by a certain group of people. Many conspiracy theories are about the pyramids and the megaliths, which are large stones to make a structure or monument. These pyramids and megaliths can be found all over the world in countries such as Egypt, Ireland, Germany, Wales, Portugal, Netherlands, France, and some other places too. I think the main reason for all of the conspiracy theories is because no one really knows why the pyramids or megaliths were actually built for. Instead we all just have our guesses and hypothesizes about why they were built for. But we are still not sure about the exact reason of why they were really created even after translating the hieroglyphs or any other symbols on the walls of these structures. However, we do have a pretty good idea of why they might have been built. Some people think that they were some kind of memorial for a deceased ruler of that place. Others think that it was part of their religion, and that these many structures were in honor of who they believed in. The most famous pyramids are found in Egypt, which are some of the world’s largest structures. Since 2008, there have been one hundred thirty eight found which were mainly made from brick or stone. Stonehenge is probably the most famous megalith. It is located in England and is composed of a circle of large standing stones. Someday hopefully with all the new technology being established, we will find out the real reason for why these magnificent monuments were built.
