So, if tomorrow someone reports that 30 feet under the sand a flying saucer was discovered with hieroglyphics inscribed all over its surface, you would assume it was a product of the Dynastics since there's "no proof" of any alien civilization?! Like, the saucer itself wouldn't serve as proof of such a separate civilization?

This is how ridiculous the entire pyramid provenance argument has become.

Yes, the evidence that the civilization that built those pyramids was not the 3rd millennium BC Dynastics...is the pyramids themselves.
