The Ancient Egyptians made no distinctions between art, written language, or architecture.  So the pyramids they built, the hieroglphics inside them, and everything about them had a meaning.  The position of the Great Pyramids in Giza corresponds with certain astronomical elements.  These relationships have led some people to conclude that the ancient Egyptians were influenced by extraterrestrials.  I don't know about aliens, but I do think its difficult to believe that a civilization that left records about the way they did everything from planting fields to washing clothes, from practicing medicine to perserving the dead, left absolutely no records of how they built the Great Pyramids or the Sphinx.  Scientists have been working to solve that puzzle for years.  Unfortunately they will never be able to do anything but speculate.

     The Ancient Egyptians will always be remembered for all of the beautiful monuments that have lasted for thousands of years.  They achieved the goal of immortality more effectively than almost any other culture.  Although we will never be able to understand everything about these people, we can be sure that there will always be something new to learn from them.
