Photo of the Sphinx taken from a balloon before it was excavated. I can't find a date, but based on when it was excavated and the history of photography, some time between 1840 and 1867 in c/historyporn@lemmy.world

I too was trying to find the date of this photo this week. To narrow your time span, the first aerial photograph (also from a balloon) was taken in 1858 in France. So this photo had to have been taken after that point.

And then everyone clapped in c/atheistmemes@lemmy.world

He wasn't a zombie. He was lich, maybe a wight. Also, he quit carpentry years before he died.

But I have so many followers! in c/microblogmemes@lemmy.world

As someone who does speak native English, no clue. My best guess is that it is a typo. I think it was supposed to be $40m.
