Bradley Walsh, host of The Chase, stirred debate by suggesting that Egyptians didn’t build the Great Pyramid of Giza, hinting at an “outside force.”
Walsh pointed out uncanny mathematical alignments in the pyramid: its height multiplied by 43,200 equals Earth’s polar radius with 99.8% accuracy.
The base of the pyramid, when multiplied by the same number, aligns with Earth’s circumference to 98.9%, predating knowledge of a round Earth by millennia.
Walsh highlighted how the pyramid’s top aligns within 1/360th of true north, an extraordinary feat for ancient builders.
With 70-ton boulders among its 2 million blocks, Walsh claimed it’s “impossible” for Egyptians to have placed them with their technology, sparking heated discussion.

Walsh argued that laying each block every two minutes during daylight in Khufu’s reign would have been unfeasible, even with modern tools.

The podcast ignited polarized reactions: skeptics mocked Walsh’s theory, while others expressed agreement, saying, “I’m totally with him on that!”
A recent study on a now-dry branch of the Nile suggests canals may have powered lifts to move the massive stones, challenging Walsh’s claims.

The debate underscores the enduring fascination with the pyramids, blending science, conspiracy, and the unknown to captivate audiences worldwide.
Despite Walsh’s skepticism, ancient Egyptians’ engineering brilliance remains a cornerstone of their enduring legacy, fueling both wonder and debate.
