The classic correlation equals causation fallacy, but with ancient aliens flair! This meme brilliantly satirizes how some pseudoarchaeologists like Graham Hancock jump to wild conclusions based on superficial similarities. Sure, pyramids in Egypt and Mexico both have triangular sides (revolutionary concept, I know), and dolphins and sharks both swim in water with fins. By this logic, my coffee mug and the Grand Canyon are related because they both can hold liquid. Next up: birds and airplanes both fly, therefore airplanes must be descended from pterodactyls! Scientific method? Never heard of her.
