      If I remember right, Stargate’s antagonists didn’t build the pyramids, they had them built. By humans. (And even if I don’t remember right, it’s still plausible.)

      The question becomes: How much alien tech was needed?

      Even in that universe, the answer might be “none”. People can be remarkably resourceful if told “Here are the measurements. Get to it. Or die.”

        I am 100% straight but I would tear a hole in Milo Rossi’s twink ass. (Remember chances of that happening is very small, given that I messaged him on the gram to tell him that the ‘Scroll in a Pot’ is still practiced where I live, and he probably thought I’m a kid trying to lead him on but truly, I have seen some very ancient people — and by ancient I mean 70-80 yo, put a scroll in a small pottery pitcher (‘kuzeh’ in Persian) and bury it).

    Honestly I feel like this is a compliment of itself, like sure they don’t believe that you did it but they don’t believe that you did it. Imagine it being so good that they don’t believe you actually accomplished it now that’s an accomplishment of itself
