I am still laughing

On Weirdest UFO Stories today: 

The narrator, who is British (of course. Why is that?), recites the tale of the great mind that posited the theory that ancient aliens built the Great Pyramids. The stones each weighed about 80 tons and came from hundreds of miles away before the invention of the wheel.  This meant that the only way to get the stones to Giza was for great numbers of men to drag them. The alternative theory that it would take some other-worldly force to accomplish the task is more plausible to the theorist and it sounds reasonable to me.

The problem with the theory is that carved on the pyramids are pictures of arrays of men with ropes dragging large things like statues.  The narrator points out that there are no aliens in the pictures unless they are cunningly dressed as ancient Egyptians.
