[SOLVED] Argument Reconstructions

Argument Reconstructions The essay should be about 6 double-spaced pages in length (1500 words) as a rough estimate (try not to exceed 8 pages). You will submit your assignment through the Assignments tab (under the Assessments menu) on Brightspace.

Read the article at this link:
https://proofofalien.com/top-10-evidences-to-prove-the-aliens-built-the-pyramids/

This article gives a number of arguments in support of the claim that space aliens are responsible for the Egyptian pyramids.

Your assignment is to reconstruct and evaluate the arguments presented. You do not have to reconstruct all the arguments if you find you are running short on space.

(1) Reconstruct the arguments using the standard form for argument reconstructions we have been learning in this course.

You can evaluate the arguments using the balance method, or by the method of evaluating the argument in respect of its logical structure and reasonability of premises (note that the balance method is BEST used to evaluate the reasonability of premises!)

You do not have to use any additional resources in preparing your essay, but you certainly may do so, and may find the task of evaluating the argument easier by consulting additional sources. However, any resources you do use should be clearly identified. You may use any citation format for this that you prefer.
