aliens visiting and influencing earth is still debated to this day. One of the most well known proponent of the idea is Eric von Daniken. These beliefs are presented in his book Chariots of the Gods, where it is claimed that in the aliens visited earth and accelerated the development of human civilization, as well as certain ancient structures like the pyramids. The evidence the supporters of this claim have is based mainly off of assumption and doubt of the capabilities of the ancient egyptians, when in reality there is much unknown about what resources they really had. The supporters say things like there wasn't rope to haul the stone blocks, not enough wood for the rollers used to move the stone blocks or the tools hard enough to cut the stone blocks. All these are based off of the unknown, there is a possibility that they did indeed have this stuff but since there is no hard evidence, some just come to reason that it had to be aliens or other supernatural forces to influence the pyramids. This is pseudoscience because of the lack of hard evidence, without evidence it just stands as a theory. The claim uses a lot of thought provoking words that causes our mind to start making assumptions based off of the unknown. Since there is no way to experiment if aliens are real or not, it will remain as a pseudoscience until evidence is provided to back the theory up as a real science.
