Hi! Egyptologist here. We know the great pyramid was constructed over ca 20 years. An ENTIRE settlement was found by Dr Mark Lehner at Giza for the men who build the pyramids. They worked in gangs (organized like an army)+ competed with one another. Read more. Tweet less. I've seen groups of my workmen (10-12) in Egypt easily move stones approximating the size of a Giza pyramid stone. Imagine what a gang of 20 men coordinated could do using sleds, and paths wet with water. They were world class stone workers too!

Just a reminder that I block with the same wild abandon I consume Ghirardelli chocolate chips, zero regard for anything but my own needs. Go scream at a brick wall, maybe it will care more 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 Enjoy the knowledge that I am
living my best life, and you spend your days screaming like a baby with a loaded diaper at strangers.

There have been many threads on #AncientApocalypse the @netflix series. And, I have a different perspective. Graham Hancock doesn't know how to dig, or run an excavation/survey. It's like saying I cannot do heart surgery. It's just a fact. Not mean. He's not an archaeologist. That's the core flaw with the series. Aside from great threads that @FlintDibble @jens2go and so many others have done. Why would you listen to someone tell you why archaeologists are ALL WRONG when they cannot run a dig, or have basic expertise to read an excavation report?

So, what you don't read in the NYT obit: beloved author Julie Powell had covid 6 weeks ago (she tweeted a bunch about it). There are countless men and women getting heart attacks, strokes, and blood clots following their infections. The covid public health disaster is infinite. ALL men+ women in their 40s+ who get covid need to be on high alert for signs of heart attack+ stroke in the 6 months following. Maybe longer.

Can we talk about how Howard Carter, discoverer of Tut's tomb, was a complete POS narcissist? He was so horrid his professional staff quit. This was 1922+, when many people were Very Bad, and Carter was... special. Stop romanticizing these people. Even today a number of (foreign) Egyptologists carry on his fine colonialist example of bloated ego, piss poor treatment of Egyptians, general obnoxious behavior, and overall jerkwaddery. 100 years on, and not enough has changed.

Seeing as many of you are on the Very Online Blokes Who Shout That NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO DISCUSS ANDREW Committee, when exactly *is* the right time to discuss an alleged pedophile who had his mum pay millions to sweep it under the stolen priceless artifacts from former colonies Like was there a discussed "time out." A week? A month" "Just hush up forever." I'm SUPER curious why you think defending a pedophile over their victims is ever OK.
