New Showbiz Analysis

The film operates as a speculative documentary centered on ancient astronaut theory rather than social identity. Its primary focus is on cosmic and historical mystery, which leaves little room for intentional storytelling that reflects multiple aspects of identity. While the scope is geographically broad, the narrative structure inadvertently diminishes the ability to act of non-Western cultures. By attributing massive engineering feats to extraterrestrial intervention, the film reinforces a hierarchy that devalues the independent capabilities of ancient global civilizations. Ultimately, the production lacks the progressive elements necessary to disrupt social hierarchies, functioning instead within a traditional framework of pseudo-scientific inquiry.

Category Breakdown

Does Aliens and Pyramids: Forbidden Knowledge have LGBTQ+ representation?

Minimal

The documentary focuses entirely on architectural engineering and extraterrestrial theories. It contains no characters or narratives related to LGBTQ+ identities.

How does Aliens and Pyramids: Forbidden Knowledge portray gender?

Fair

The film uses traditional, gender-neutral language that emphasizes a masculine perspective of human achievement. It does not challenge traditional gender hierarchies or portray masculinity in non-traditional ways.

How racially and ethnically diverse is Aliens and Pyramids: Forbidden Knowledge?

Fair

The reliance on masculine-centric historical phrasing fails to challenge traditional gender hierarchies.

Official Synopsis

Pyramids can be found in the Middle East, Latin America, Asia, Europe and The North American Continent. How were they constructed, and what was their purpose? If man built the pyramids on his own, then we would expect there would be an enormous effort to record such an achievement. However, no culture that had pyramids has any clue how they were built. Apparently, they did not have the means, knowledge, or technology to do so. The theory that aliens from another world may have assisted in building the great pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and other pyramids, could explain how some of the most amazing and mysterious engineering feats in human history were accomplished. Evidence of highly advanced engineering exists within the Great Pyramid and around the Giza Plateau.
