After his claim went viral, it caught the attention of Rania A. Al Mashat, Egypt’s minister of international cooperation, who invited Musk to visit the pyramids so that he could study them better.

The minister claimed that the tombs of pyramid builders discovered in the 1990s prove that the structures were put in place by ancient Egyptians.
