Their conclusion is that it is not. Shocker!

People think this is true. They are wrong. It was humans that built the pyramids, with stone and bricks, and rollers and boats, and horrific forms of slavery. (credit:Siddhi/Flickr)

Specifically, flight MH370 which disappeared with hundreds of passengers aboard earlier this year. Thank one British tabloid for this story, but use your brain to realise that it isn't and cannot be true.
