Those theories, as well as most fraudulent archaeology, are more often than not white supremacist propaganda designed to make you think less of brown peoples' intelligence, strength, and force of will.
Edit: I still spell like a toddler
Isn't it funny how you can just hand wave an entire theory because someone said it's racist and then millions repeat that notion. It's like the new version of "he's a crazy conspiracy theorist", it's a useful tool to discredit someone without having to prove them wrong. The Graham Handcock theory is obviously what is being referred to here and the fact that he's called racist blows my mind. How does the age of the pyramids affect who actually built them, it's either 4000 year old Africans or 12000 year old Africans, they were built in Africa by Africans.
