    It’s unusual to see such recent dates in a conspiracy. Like, America exists when this nuclear winter supposedly happened. I’m also surprised to not see a reference to Libyan desert glass and its unknown origin.

    “Possibly related to the year without a summer…”

    Pyramid was built in 1814 BC.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_of_Amenemhat_III_(Dahshur)

    Year without a summer was 1816 AD.

          By no means am I on board with this. But what I think what was meant was that it was blackened in 1816, by what I think he was inferring was a nuclear blast, resulting in a nuclear winter or a year without a summer.

    “It looks like” Ah yes. The only fucking argument these “history” conspiracy types ever have. And it usually dont even “look like” the thing at all. Or only in one specific image from one specific angle

    Yes. That looks exactly like the Egyptian pyramids. I can’t see any difference at all.

      They are right about it being a pyramid. It’s just very degraded.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_of_Amenemhat_III_(Dahshur)

      That’s also literally the only thing they’re right about.

      There’s another pyramid which was around the same height as the third of the three famous pyramids that include the Great Pyramid that’s basically gone entirely.

        Is that photo really that Pyramid? I thought it was some basaltic intrusion or something!

          I think some photoshopping was done to blacken it, but it looks like it’s the structure known as the Black Pyramid.

    It would be wild if we figured out that every so often, on a universal timescale, nature just fucked up and split an atom on accident.

      That’s how we get helium.

      Edit: Because someone has downvoted me, now I have to explain it.

      Helium is a noble gas; it doesn’t bond with anything. It’s also lighter than air (at ground level), so if it was just free, it would rise. So how come I can go buy a tank of it and fill balloons?

      Radioactive uranium and thorium decay, and when they do, they release an alpha particle. An alpha particle is two protons and two neutrons. This is the same as a helium nucleus. When these alpha particles are released, they capture electrons from the environment, and now you have helium.

      When high concentrations of uranium and/or thorium are found near natural gas seams, it’s possible for the helium to become trapped in the top of the seam. It’s then possible to collect that helium as a byproduct of natural gas wells.

      Almost all of the world’s helium is produced in an area around San Antonio, TX.

      We’ve actually discovered a few of these! Though, nothing quite so catastrophic as you might be thinking.

        Oh wow that’s awesome. Here let me try again, wouldn’t it be wild if we found out nature had a second earth we could easily move to?

        No?

        Well it was worth a try. Thank you for the fascinating read.

    Apparently the reason it is dark is because they tried to make it out of clay bricks in a damp part of the Nile.
