Where can I submit it? And I'm not sure if someone has thought of it, so what is the most recent, sensible theory out there?

so you should publish it yourself as a thesis, or write a essay. Make sure it's testable... with out the ability to test, not many people in the anthro community will take you seriously. Conduct research, experiments, work it out- then try to publish. But please, for the sake of integrity, be credible. Good Luck!

Utterly false. The Egyptians did not use slaves to construct the Pyramids. They used farmers who could not work the fields during the Nile floods, plus a permanent skilled workforce of maybe 2000 people, the remains of whose homes have been found. That is a fact the frauds who promote the alien business will never tell you. The other facts include that by the time the three biggest pyramids were built, the Egyptians had already been building them for 200 years or more, so they actually knew how to do it. Since some earlier pyramids had been built on poor foundations or with inferior stone or too steep, and fell down as a result, they knew not to do that either. See the pyramid at Meidum which collapsed in antiquity. Their first big pyramid at Saqqara has stepped sides, which show it's evolution from the flat topped "mastaba" tombs built earlier. We even know the name of the architect of that one, his name was Imhotep. The internal galleries of the pyramids use a roofing system called the corbel, which is a feature of primitive stone masonry. Later masonry, such as that built by the Romans used the arch, which is more stable. Aliens capable of flying to the Earth would have known the arch and would have used it in any stone structures they built. Builder's marks and builder's graffiti in ancient Egyptian writng can be found in parts of the temple that have always been very hard to get to. Would aliens have scribbled "How drunk is the king?" above his burial chamber? With the biggest pyramid of all, there is plenty of evidence that plans changed as it was being built. That is also true of the bent pyramid and the step pyramid. Would aliens capable of crossing space have done that? As for Stonehenge, the stone circles we see are just about the last stage of several hundred years of deveopment on the same site. The big stones seem to have been put up no earlier than 2700 BC, probably 100 to 200 years later and re-arranged a few times until about probably about 1900 BC, centuries after the Egyptian pyramids were built. Again, if built by space travelling aliens, different techniques with deeper and more effective foundations would have been used. More than likely the stone blocks would have been cut a lot more regularly. They look fairly rough now, because they always were roughly shaped but carefully placed.

I would love to hear your theories. Perhaps you could contact the National History Museum, who will, I am sure, advise you who to best contact to discuss your theory. I believe that this was a communal living area or meeting area for the elders of the ancient local tribe.

Write an outline for a proposal to make a documentary film or write a doctoral thesis about your idea. You can examine the evidence available while you are working on it.

i don't think there are any new creations/ideas - maybe ones that haven't been reported.
Stonehenge is a pagan site which is used to celebrate the changes of the season and the alignment of both the sun and the moon.

You would explain it in an article and find appropriate magazines to submit it too. I would look for them in search engines. Perhaps you would look for those concerning history or archeology. Good luck.

I'd be interested where they quarried the stone, how they transported the stones to the present site (salisbury plain), and how they hoisted the horizontal stones to the top of the vertical stones.
