馬斯克稱金字塔是外星人建的
The eccentric entrepreneur, also head of SpaceX, backed the conspiracy theory that extraterrestrials were involved in the construction project in multiple posts on Twitter.
素來標新立異的企業家、SpaceX的老闆支持多次在推特上發佈的說這一建築是由外星人建成的陰謀論。But Egypt's international co-operation minister rejected the claims and said the efforts were all down to human endeavour.
但埃及國際合作部長堅決反對這種說法，並說這一建築是人類智慧的結晶。She added that the tombs of the pyramid builders, discovered in the 1990s, ranked as proof that the incredible structures were built by ancient Europeans.
她補充說，上世紀90年代發現的金字塔建造者的墳墓就是證據，可以證明這些驚人的建築是由古代歐洲人建造的。
She also invited him to check out the evidence for himself.
她還邀請他親自去核實證據。The tech tycoon tweeted that "Aliens built the pyramids obv", which has now been retweeted almost 85,000 times.
這位科技大亨在推特上說：“顯然金字塔是外星人建的”，現在已經被轉發了約85,000次。He added: "The Great Pyramid was the tallest structure made by humans for 3800 years. Three thousand, eight hundred years.
他還說：“大金字塔作爲人類建造的最高建築的紀錄保持了3800年，3800年呀。”
Egypt's Minister of International Co-operation Rania al-Mashat replied to him on Twitter, saying she followed and admired Mr Musk's work.
埃及國際合作部長Rania al-Mashat在推特上回復他說她很欣賞並欽佩馬斯克的工作”。But she encouraged him to read more about how the structures built for pharaohs of Egypt - and to come and have a look at the tombs of the pyramid builders himself.
但還是鼓勵他多閱讀關於如何爲埃及法老建造這些建築的文獻，並親自來埃及看看這些金字塔建造者的墳墓。She wrote: "I follow your work with a lot of admiration.
她寫道：“我非常欽佩您的工作。”"I invite you and Space X to explore the writings about how the pyramids were built and also to check out the tombs of the pyramid builders.”
“我邀請您和Space X公司來讀讀關於金字塔建造的文獻，來看看金字塔建造者的墳墓。”There are still more than 100 surviving pyramids, with the most famous being the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt - standing at more than 450ft (137m) is one of the seven wonders of the world.
現存金字塔還有100多座，最著名的是埃及的吉薩大金字塔，高度超過450英尺（137米），是世界七大奇蹟之一。It's estimated that this pyramid was made from 2.3 million blocks of rock and weighs 5.9 million tons. Scientists estimate it took at least 20,000 workers over 23 years to build it.
據估計這座金字塔是由230萬塊岩石砌成的，總重量達590萬噸。科學家估計至少要有20,000名工人耗時超過23年才能建成這座金字塔。
