@kaliagainstallodds Thanks for the link. Intersting. Did this apply to all pyramid buildings?

Anyway, I am happy to have learned something new, but why do you have to present it in such an arrogant style?

@kaliagainstallodds @junior42 @ipg IMHO, the orientalist barb was called for. People who post like reply guys shouldn’t be offended when someone treats them like a reply guy. Cool of you to apologize anyway.

You can teach something to someone without being resentful against them for not knowing in the first place. One does not necessarily think of checking every bit of information they've been breastfed since infancy once they acquire some critical thinking.

If the correction is rejected, then it becomes orientalism. Before that, it's only unfortunate ignorance and an opportunity to become one of the 10000.

@heartofcoyote @junior42 @ipg the barbs literally brought science and medicine to europe. visit the iberian peninsular, they are very proud of that herritage.

@kaliagainstallodds I know about the huge achievements of the oriental sciences.

However, I think the meme is bs anyway, because it implies a backlash in efficiency, which I would deny, and it neglects working conditions - and these were horrible in ancient times in all parts of the planet. My answer would habe vmbeen the same if the question would have been, say, "how could they build Notre Dame".

Anyway, I know too little about egypt history, this is what I learnt 😉

@kaliagainstallodds @ipg It's OK 😊 I can relate, I know it from explaining non-vegans again and again the most basic facts, and you never know if the other one is someone who is open or who just wants to shout out their false opinion...
