    Archeologists a couple thousand years later Ancient Egyptians couldn’t have built this highly advanced structure and transported it all the way to North America. They clearly had help from an advanced civilization.

      I didn’t do that deep a dive but there are some skyscrapers like the Shard in London that are technically pyramids. So it depends on if you go by height and include those etc.

    One of many shrines to our capitalist overlords and the mighty dollar.

    All cultures use pyramids to show the reverence due to their gods, right?

    I’ve actually been in the pyramid itself. It’s actually quite small inside compared to what you’d expect and is literally just a bass pro shop with a fish tank and a bar area with a bunch of tvs and nothing else. They do have comfortable seating though!

      Yeah me and wife went two years ago. We weren’t impressed. Funny story we were early so we had to wait for the elevator to open so we could go to the viewing deck.

      Well as we waited this lady and man who apparently were with a touring company showed up with like 50 people.

      They had paid for the tickets and thought they get first priority and cut the line. But at these time there were already 20 of us waiting. But luckily the manager made them get in the back of the line.

      The tourist lady was pissed.
