Fiction Boundary

This image is speculative alternate-history art. The alien visitors, hovering tools, and star-map/hydraulic/geometric projections are fictional visual elements. The scene should not be interpreted as a factual claim that aliens created or directed the achievements of Old Kingdom Egypt (Fourth Dynasty). Human builders, scholars, artisans, and administrators remain active, skilled, and central.
