LISTER: What makes you think these aliens exist?
RIMMER: They must do, Lister! There’s so many things that are strange and odd. So many things we don’t have any explanation for.
LISTER: Like, um, why do intelligent people buy cinema hot dogs? Do you mean that sort of weird and mysterious thing?
RIMMER: No, Lister, I mean like the pyramids. How did they move such massive pieces of stone without the aid of modern technology?
LISTER: They had massive whips, Rimmer. Massive, massive whips.
How that damned television show is still on the air is beyond me. Every single point they make is easily debunked and all it’s doing is injecting lies and garbage information into people, making them conspiracy theorists and deniers of other truths. It’s a joke.
How come they switched sides for a panel then switched back? Was it also because of aliens?
Well i meant Babuthep starts standing left of the other guy, then he’s on the right, then back to the left. Maybe they were doing some dancing :)
The idea that aliens built the pyramids is racist.
Why? The people around the Mediterranean are the same people
No one questions Divinci
It’s about time period not race
It’s racist against the human race. They’re basically saying humans were too stupid and incapable of engineering feats like these so they obviously had help from extraterrestrials to build their giant stone pyramids.
Nah, there’s a reason why we don’t talk about Stonehenge in the same ways.
No one ever asks who built the pyramids in mexico for similarly racist reasons.
It’s true, though often unintended, people get excited. It sucks because the past is filled with such vibrant and cool things people have done. Cheapens it… People are neat.
… the past is filled with such vibrant and cool things slaves have done… People are gross
Fixed it for ya.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_pyramid_construction_techniques
In addition to the many unresolved arguments about the construction techniques, there have been disagreements as to the kind of workforce used. The Greeks, many years after the event, believed that the pyramids were built by slave labour. Archaeologists now believe that the Great Pyramid of Giza (at least) was built by tens of thousands of skilled workers who camped near the pyramids and worked for a salary or as a form of tax payment (levy) until the construction was completed, pointing to workers’ cemeteries discovered in 1990.[1] For the Middle Kingdom pyramid of Amenemhat II, there is evidence from the annal stone of the king that foreigners from Canaan were employed.[2]
That’s a common myth. :) People didn’t have to enslave each other to do magnificent things, we should take note.
Always mocking Dr. Daniel Jackson. Poor guy
