Pyramids Memes

The ancient Egyptians had physics figured out WAY before Newton! This satirical Onion headline brilliantly plays on the eternal debate about pyramid construction techniques while throwing in the "aliens did it" conspiracy theory for good measure. The title is pure physics gold - conservation of energy means the work required to move those massive blocks doesn't depend on the path taken (assuming no friction). Whether you're dragging stones up a ramp or using fancy alien technology, physics demands the same energy payment! Meanwhile, archaeologists everywhere are facepalming at the "aliens" explanation. Those little stick figures with light bulbs for heads? Definitely not suspicious at all... 👽

Behold, the ultimate historical hack! Before Newton rudely invented gravity in 1687, ancient Egyptians were living the weightless dream. Just casually stacking 2-ton stones like they were Legos because, you know, mass without consequence. Those brilliant pharaohs must have been furious when Newton showed up thousands of years later and made their architectural descendants actually have to work for a living. Next you'll tell me dinosaurs went extinct because Darwin invented natural selection!
