I love deeply online pseudohistory. I understand perfectly how awful it can be and that it is objectively bad for the public and for professional historians and archeologists just trying to do their job but holy shit is it so funny. Real history is something I am deeply passionate about, especially the history of antiquity so you’d think I hated this stuff and to some extent I do but on the other hand… the shit they come up with is so entertaining. They are so horrifically wrong that it can be belly laugh inducing. Please keep searching for atlantis, its been 3000 years but you, mr youtube man, it will be you, the chosen one, who will find it for sure. Yes, the world globalist cabal IS hiding antlantis from us, keep searching I am begging you. The Free Masons ARE coming for you if you find it though, it is so over. Admittedly, the eye of rhe sahara is a really neat geological feature.

Thanks, Joe Rogan. Thanks, Plato

    It robs Ancient Egyptians of their autonomy and experience, witnessing the accidental construction and having to make sense with all the new stressors that must have introduced to their society. To even claim that aliens built them, the grifters would have to first prove the existence of aliens and they don’t do that.

    Not only that, but it feels like they replaced aryans with aliens in order to get to that conclusion. It’s just that belittling to the locals.

      Very much so. There’s an undercurrent of white supremacy where only Europeans, creators of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and similar malformed structures, could accidentally build a pyramid.

          I live in the 21st century, I have a graphing calculator and computer and autocad, I’ve studied 3000 years of mathematics they didn’t have. It would be hard for me to make any kind of building. Whatever they were trying to build, it came out looking like that and I couldn’t do much better. Good effort but I can see why the only similar structure we’ve built since was a Bass Pro Shop. It doesn’t work as a design.
