This meme was created before having fucking eyes was invented by John Eye which is why the massive red circles are necessary

So an interesting theory I ran across was a shell was built first and the pyramid was actually built starting from the top. This would explain why they were so precise.

Since we’re sharing pyramid theories I saw one recently hypothesizing that for the first step pyramid they used a system of hydraulics to lift the blocks up a shaft in the center

They couldn't start from the top with that attitude.

Thanks red circles. I wouldn’t have gotten the joke otherwise.

Went to take a new screen cap without the red circles, however YouTube has fucked their UI so much it doesn’t show the full comment without expanding the whole thing and you can’t get the thumbnail in because of auto play.

I hate YT so damn much.

This is how some people sincerely talk about war crimes.

Like it wasn't fucked up until someone wrote it down.

Dammit, Newton! Life must have been so much easier back then!

I don't know, all my cattle kept floating into the neighbor's yard. One even hit the big glass dome that separates the sky from the heavens and got smited.
