The thing is, I'm not even sure if it was the Egyptians who built the pyramids and the sphinx, because the sphinx has thousands of years worth of water erosion on it. So taking into account that according to mainstream history Ancient Egypt began around 3500BC or so, it must have been a different, much earlier civilisation who built it, when Egypt was much more fertile land and experienced lots of rainfall. Either that, or the Ancient Egyptian period began much, much earlier than previously thought. This is why many experts of Ancient Egypt now believe that the sphinx was actually built somewhere between 30,000BC and 10,000BC.
And yea, I agree that some of the mathematics and physics involved in the construction of the pyramids is extraordinary and shows that there were definitely ancient civilisations with super-advanced knowledge of astronomy. Even by today's standards we'd struggle to build the pyramids as accurately. I also believe, which is what I think you were getting at, that this whole concept of "God" is becoming narrower between religious texts and science. Like you said, replace "God" with "ET's" and the stories found in Genesis start to make more sense.
