No one ever asks who built the pyramids in mexico for similarly racist reasons.
I blame Quetzalcōātl, obviously.
Damn fluffy snake making pyramids and killing all the animals that used to eat avocado
Everyone know mexicans built the pyramids
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.
Why? The people around the Mediterranean are the same people
No one questions Divinci
It’s about time period not race
The people around the Mediterranean are the same people
Racists would definitely disagree
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.
You are correct about the race bias, and it's to a much lesser extent, but people do also say Stonehenge was built by aliens. As early as 1968 apparently.
Some people really want to believe, and why not? It is human not to want to be alone. It's a terrifying prospect. :)
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.
It's cheaper to do bullshit than the right thing.
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.
According to more updated studies, more like massive paychecks
Levers too
Goddamn, I gotta go watch Red Dwarf again
Always mocking Dr. Daniel Jackson. Poor guy
He's teaching Spanish right now.
He’s sketching a cube right now
How come they switched sides for a panel then switched back? Was it also because of aliens?
They had multiple virtual cameras and could change angles between panels
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 :)
Clearly he was walking around getting better perspective on the work
