Wait! There are no doors in the pyramids! And it's built in the middle of the desert! (well, if you ignore the existence of the Nile and all that flooding).

But... how'd they build the pyramids?

Maybe Shyamalan was right all along....
Unless of course...the Aliens are really Reverse Vampires!
Seriously, aliens aren't visiting didn't build the Pyramids, or fight the Indians.
Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.
Hancock and Bauval constructed their wacky scheme based on some fanciful notions. For example, they asserted that the chute in the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid of Giza would point to Orion in 10500 BCE, hence, it must be built that year.
There are a couple of problems with that. First of all, the chute is actually blocked and does not open to the outside. Secondly, do chutes in the King's Chamber in all (or most) pyramids point to Orion when they were built? If not, they're just talking hogwash.

If you didn't realise, the "aircraft" drawings were in fact flying saucers that used centrifrugal force to generate counter-gravity, thats what I understand from one the article.
Bear in mind these are reproduced drawings from the original texts.
So uh, here's a link, but its not all of it, but that's all I have time for, now.
...a single projectile
Charged with all the power of the Universe.
An incandescent column of smoke and flame
As bright as the thousand suns
Rose in all its splendour...
a perpendicular explosion
with its billowing smoke clouds...
...the cloud of smoke
rising after its first explosion
formed into expanding round circles
like the opening of giant parasols...
..it was an unknown weapon,
An iron thunderbolt,
A gigantic messenger of death,
Which reduced to ashes
The entire race of the Vrishnis and the Andhakas.
...The corpses were so burned
As to be unrecognisable.
The hair and nails fell out;
Pottery broke without apparent cause,
And the birds turned white.
After a few hours
All foodstuffs were infected...
Arise ye starvelings from your slumbers; arise ye prisoners of want
The reason for revolt now thunders; and at last ends the age of "can't"
Away with all your superstitions -servile masses, arise, arise!
We'll change forthwith the old conditions And spurn the dust to win the prize
