Pyramidology by Erich von Daniken

 1968 Erich von Däniken published his book Chariots of the Gods, which was shortly to be a bestseller with millions of copies. This represents Däniken is a collection of "riddles of history" before, for example, "What's behind the pictures of the Nazca Plain", "What was the Ark of the Covenant" or Däniken "solved" the mystery, not directly, but dressed his answers in form of rhetorical questions that are always running out that these artifacts are evidence of the prehistoric visits by aliens. This also applies for the pyramids, which Däniken does not claim these were built by aliens. He first points to a number of "inconsistencies", where he served from the treasure of his predecessor pyramidologists ("Is it a coincidence that the base of the pyramid - divided by twice the amount - the famous result Ludolf number π?"The key is: "Who is stupid enough to believe that the pyramid should be nothing but the grave of a king," This is a pyramid with the representatives of scientific theories in a similar parametric form of recurring rate.Ultimately suggests Däniken, the pyramid is a form of imitatio dei ("imitation of God" or in this case, "imitation of the gods"), whereby accepting as gods extraterrestrial astronauts are who survive to the millennia of interstellar travel , were put to death in a similar form of hibernation. The observation of the resurrection of apparently dead would then have the prehistoric rulers of Egypt persuaded, be provided with crisis-proof material goods in "quasi-atomic bomb proof" buildings (the pyramids), mummification to let store, hoping to rise like the astronaut gods also.The idea outlined by Däniken the alien gods in flying pyramids and a "hibernation chamber" as well as a universal healing machines serving sarcophagi were the basis of the 1994 released film Stargate by Roland Emmerich.
