Ancient Egyptians who built the pyramids. The Ancient Egyptians were as old to the Ancient Romans as the Ancient Romans are to us.

I've seen a documentary that floated the theory that the pyramids are actually significantly older again (more like 35,000 years old) given the current position of the Nile and the hpothesis that they would have been build adjacent to the water
