The Conspirologist

  Introduction In 1969, the first human ever set foot on the moon, or did they? In this blog we will address the modern theory that the moon landing was a hoax. On 20 th  July 1969, the world witnessed Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on the moon, something never done by mankind before. Michael Collins orbited the moon aboard the command module. This blog will look at the origins of the moon landing, the claims behind it and explain why people still believe the theory.   Designed by Freepik Origins of the moon landing conspiracy  The moon landing conspiracy theory came from Bill Kaysing.

This week’s blog will explore the most famous structures on our planet that align with these specific monuments around the globe. We will first dive into what the solstice is and its significance. Moving onto looking at the most famous structures on our planet that are solstice aligned. From these structures, it is key to look at the engineering feats and precision within these structures. To end this blog, we will look at the cultural and spiritual meaning of these constructions.    The solstice marks the key moments in the Earth’s relationship with the Sun and has influenced human civilisation throughout time. The two solstice dates are the 21 st  of June and 21 st  of December, marking the longest and shortest day. As ...

The Great Pyramid of Giza is the largest pyramid in Egypt, with its intricate detail and precision, could it have been made by human hands alone?     In this blog post we will address the common theory that the pyramids cannot have possibly been made by humans. First covering the origin of the theory, followed by the facts to support this, then we will conclude on the theory and give our own thoughts.   The theory itself was speculated in and around the 19 th  to 20 th  century when archaeologists first started exploring into the study of ancient Egyptian civilisation.
