Check out all of the science in this meme.
It’s not even right, since the French were the ones that stole most of the artifacts out of Egypt. Then the English stole them from the French.

THERE’S the science (math)! We found it everybody! It’s over here
…Given the presence of Stonehenge, what kept the ancient peoples of Great Britain from making their own pyramids anyway? I’m guessing it’s to do with different sociocultural arrangements, but was there any absence of resources that may have also contributed?
Lots of people made pyramids. There are indigenous pyramids in New England.
Turns out if you want to stack bricks high, the easiest way to do it is to make triangles.
I’m aware of the trend, which is why I was asking about Great Britain in particular and whether they had also done so. Courtesy of this reply I was made aware that there are at least some there, albeit those highlighted were neither as old nor so large.
Still fun to know about though!
I mean, people did steal the fancy bricks that were on the outside of the pyramids, so it’s not a stretch to imagine they’d want to steal the rest
Well, they certainly took pieces of the pyramids to museums in Britain, just not whole pyramids.
The sheer amount of mummies they have on display at the British Museum genuinely made me uncomfortable. Walking through those exhibits, the main thought in my head was just “hey, you guys think you should put some of these back?”
