Did the Egyptians know how to create...

We can finally do it today, but it costs more than the gold is worth.
Nubia is the homeland of one of Africa's earliest black civilization, with a history which can be traced from 2000 B.C. onward through Nubian monuments and artifacts as well as written records from Egypt and Rome. In antiquity, Nubia was a land of great natural wealth, of gold mines, ebony, ivory and incense which was always prized by her neighbors.
Old Kingdom Egyptian accounts of trade missions first mentioned Nubia in 2300 BC. Egyptians imported gold, incense, ebony, ivory, and exotic animals from tropical Africa through Nubia. Aswan, right above the First Cataract, marked the southern limit of Egyptian control. As trade between Egypt and Nubia increased, so did wealth and stability.

energy-wise?
I wouldn't be so quick to say no
We have no idea how technologically sophisticated the ancient egyptians were; it is possible they had aid from another, more technologically sophisticated alien civilization
As crazy as that sound, there is some circumstancial evidence to suggest something like that
Such as?
There were no civilisations at that time with the ability to create gold.
The Egyptians did not always have gold. They accumulated a lot through conquest like any (once) successful empire. Romans had a lot of Gold, Spanish Had a lot of Gold, England of all places, even have had a horde of gold.
Of course the U.S had a massive stockpile of gold...and then, for very mysterious reasons, removed it from it's ties to currency(or tried to).

Oops, here we go.
Which extraterrestrial civilisations?
Are there any?
Is there any evidence that there are and they've visited?
I think there likely are. There are so many stars and so many planets in our own galaxy, and there are so many galaxies.
As for that they have visited, there is "evidence" of sorts but it is really sketchy because it is open to interpretation
For instance, literature of the time and afterwards often speaks of "beings from the sky" and describes accounts of contact with these beings and such, sounding eerily similar to modern accounts of contact with ETs
As for physical evidence, in Peru there is a large area that looks like a run way. And there was crushed glass found there as well, yet it is a remote place.
In other areas, there are simply amazing stone structures that simply could not have been built without modern tools.
There are hieroglyphs depicting modern day technology
Various statues from all over the world that depict
astronauts, space ships, and the like
Flying saucer like objects in the paintings of the ancient day
I agree it's likely. And what's more I hope it's true.
It's so "sketchy" as to be laughable.
Yup, with the same level of evidence.
And ancient texts also talk of god and global floods and the world being created in 7 days...
Nazca.
Runway?
Hmm, check on the actual size of the thing Norse.
Von Daniken tried to promote that idea in the 70s (60s?) and has been thoroughly discredited.
That's what the woo woos would like you to believe.
And it is TRUE that they could not have been built without modern tools.
Unless, of course, you know what tools and methods were available at the time: again, these have shown to be perfectly in keeping with the technologies of their time.
No, there are some hieroglyphics that could be taken for modern technology if you skew your interpretation that way, and others that have been photoshopped before being presented on the net.
Hmm, no.
They only depict those things if you deliberately slant your approach and ignore all the pertinent cultural references that would show how and why those carvings are done the way they are.
So you missed or ignored:
:shrug:
We see things as being technological because that's our "natural" take on things: what we see as a antennae they actually had as feathers or corn stalks...
They "could" be.
And it could also be that there was no advanced technology for ancient man to see, and that the legends and myths are simply that: legend and myth.
Fairy stories.
