REAL men are slaves!
Men were real ANTS in those days
c/femdom goes wild
Nice
This is obviously fake 🙄. The pyramids were built by aliens
That’s what they want you to believe.
No they were built by human slave labor to be landing pads for alien space ships.
Indeed
Given his many legs some of these people have, I'm inclined to agree.
People calling this picture fake, but it's obviously real because how else could this picture exist???
And whoever says its photoshopped, Photoshop didn't even exist 4000 years ago
This photo is a fake. I have calculated the math here. There are around 18 men lifting a block here. Each block in Giza pyramid weigh around 2.5 tonnes. An average man can lift around 50 KGS. When you put in the numbers, 18 men can lift only 900 KGS. So obvious fakery.
Not sure if you got wooshed or I got wooshed
Actually, 2500/18 is only 139kg. That's a lot, but it's less than what some people do today
edit for those taking this serious: that block is way heavier than 2.5 tonne. Sandstone has a density of about 2.323 tonne/m3. This block looks about 8 meters long, so 8x8x8x2.323=1.187 kilotonnes
But regular workers back then didn't understand what those weight numbers/hieroglyphs meant, so they just picked it up unaware it's way too heavy to do so.
The photographer was giggling at them & about to explain how heavy the blocks are - but doing so a lot of workers would be immediately pancaked.
Pure gold! Imagine how difficult it was to make hundred people to stand still holding a train-like weight over their heads to capture it on prehistoric camera 😅
Ahh yes, back when humans hadn't created the eyedrops that allowed us to see color, everything was sepia.
A photography
\facepalm
It's so vulgar to make fun of someone's English online. They might not be a native speaker and these kinds of comments can be hurtful and discouraging.
Well at least the pair in the bottom left are having fun.
Amen 🙏.
