- Robert Bauval The site caters for the growing debates and discussions that are now part of the ‘Alternative History’ scene.
- John Anthony West In the early 1990s West, along with Boston University geologist Robert Schoch, stated that the Great Sphinx of Giza, Egypt, showed evidence of rainfall erosion, suggesting that the Sphinx was carved during or before the rains that marked the transition of northern Africa from the last Ice Age to the present interglacial epoch, a transition that occurred in the millennia from 10,000 to 5000 BC.
- Edgar Cayce Cayce insisted that it was the refugee Atlanteans who had constructed, or at least designed, the Pyramid around 10,400 BC.
- Erich von Däniken Von Daniken contended that the earth had long ago been visited by superior beings from other worlds, whose technology appeared to our distant ancestors as a form of magic; that our most ancient monuments, including the Great Pyramid (von Daniken maintains that its construction by existing earthly methods would have taken at least 664 years, although the evidence he gives for this is not clear), are the material evidence of that visit.
