Flint DibbleWhen you hear people claim that the pyramids weren't tombs but granaries, you can always point out that these were what 4th dynasty Egyptian grain silos looked like (my photo, Ashmolean Museum) #DailyArchaeology
civfanatics@FlintDibble this now totally ruins my #Civ2 experience :(.
@civfanatics haha yeah its based off an old myth with no basis in reality. Unfortunately Civ devs get a lot wrong about archaeology!
@FlintDibble oh wow.
Well... later versions normally do better though :).

@civfanatics haha. I love me some Civ as a game. Been playing since Civ 2. But at some point, I'll need to do some videos or threads or something on its intersection with archaeology, in a combo of both fun ways but also some real problematic ways
Will brainstorm on it!
@FlintDibble totally looking forward to it, let us know!
Liminally Human@FlintDibble I... People claim what now? That makes no sense whatsoever!
@liminally_human oh this is an old idea. Though some people repeat it today
@FlintDibble oh heavens, I would never have thought to make that connection
