Explanation: For some bizarre reason, a common conspiracy theory is that aliens built the Pyramids.

Here, the TRUTH is revealed - aliens DID visit with the intention of revealing the secrets of building big-ass triangles, but the Ancient Egyptians not only beat them to it, they built a nice Sphynx in addition.

The aliens have been absent for several thousand years at this point developing the secret of building big-ass boxes in the hopes of having something to bestow on us on their next visit.

Can't wait to spoil that for them too!

I'm so conditioned to trust everything you say about history that I now accept this as fact.

Racism. The answer is racism.

Same reason the species of aliens that are in command of the ‘Greys’ are called the ‘Tall Whites’.

the true solution to the Fermi Paradox, Everyone else saw our triangles, thought it was so cool, they went extinct from awe.

The great filter is whether you can discover the existence of triangles.

Aliens: .... oh well ... I guess there's nothing for us to do here

Leaves the solar system and never bothers with humans again

No they did probe a few weirdos.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 11 points 4 days ago

Ummmm .... those weren't aliens that were doing the probing. And they didn't film it either.

We learned many things from the mighty Egyptians, such as pyramid building, space travel... and how to prepare our dead so as to scare Abbott and Costello.
