Am I the only one noticing that these look like the pyramid from Stargate (albeit not covered by sand)?

Noobs.

Strictly speaking, Nubian. And there were four Nubian pharaohs of Egypt as well.
stoots24
"What's a Nubian?"
endymn
I wish I were her Nubian girl :P
cadrette
I am 25 years old and never knew these existed. Wtf?
meowgatron
How do I not know anything about these?! Time to not do any work and do do all the google!
liyafae
I didn't even know these pyramids existed. Shit. I love ancient civilization dawg

These pyramids brought to you by the letter H.

datdudegil
Oh god, pyramids in Sudan too!?
BenjaminT247
These were made by the Nubian civilization, or as my history professor calls them, the Noobs
AnusMaximusConquerorofAnus
These are like dollar store pyramids
metalyx214
Oh yes, the "Merely Fantastic Pyramids of Sudan",
twisti
Those must have taken dozens of slaves days to build.
DrDresDog
Whats awesome is that they have churches built in a similar style in Ethiopia that are more then a 1,000 yrs old

Yeah, this asshat broke the tops.
Ledan
oh! And a couple of years ago they had a classical concert in the desert by these pyramids. That was one hell of an experience.
lcaptdolove1
I never knew these existed. If they were somewhere else I would probably go see them
TrashPandaMafia
Fact: There are more pyramids in Sudan than Egypt.. And on top of that there are more pyramids in South American than the rest of the world.
IDevelopGamesAndShitButMainlyGames
But we Egyptians have the biggest Pyramids. Source: http://www.touropia.com/largest-pyramids-in-the-world/
AGoddamnMobileUser
Ehem! North America too! Do you know of this little country called Mexico? (which is part of North America) we have a shit ton of pyramids!
TrashPandaMafia
TIL Mexico is North American. And I actually meant the pyramids in Central America
AGoddamnMobileUser
Oh and also I think you are thinking about Central America 'cause I don't know any South American pyramid tbh
TrashPandaMafia
My bad. I meant Central America indeed
Roune
Which South American in particular?
SilverWingsofMorning
how old are they?
cajuninjun
they were constructed around 300BC after Nubia lost control of Egypt, they took inspiration from the already ancient egyptian pyramids

I've seen "Stargate", I know how it ends for those that enter here...

Does anyone know if these are actually used in sg1? Such memories...
YouJustKindaWantIt
Seeing this pictures has really made me wanna watch SG1!
TheNovaflyer
Damn you, syfy, for pulling most of your stuff off Netflix all those years ago!
pbbbtMeg
Do you have Amazon prime? It's on there. I just started watching them.

Thank you, me, for downloading the whole series all those years ago :)

A Serpent guard, a Horus guard and a Setesh guard meet on a neutral planet. It is a tense moment. The Serpent guard's eyes glow.

The Horus guard's beak glistens. The Setesh guard's nose...drips.

They were built by slightly smaller aliens...

No, just aliens with bigger penises

But still definitely aliens

Without doubt.

Just watched an alien debunking docu that gives a good explanation on how the big ones were built.

Thanks!
ashamedson
They look like Chinese brand Egyptian pyramids
gweblurker
Beta version pyramids
Sakkura
They are knock-offs built ~500 years after the Egyptians stopped building pyramids.
tomyironmane
Nonono. Chinese tourists only deface the BIG pyramids downstream in Egypt.
dinghyders
they're pyramids alright... but something seems... off
QueenoftheCrows
I think they're too....tall and not wide enough. And they're all cramped together, which diminishes the wowness factor.
NoMoneyManyProblems
I think that's also why they're mostly broken, not as stable as the wider Egyptian pyramids
PatchWrought
Ya, they're missing that fine Jewish craftsmanship the Egyptian pyramids had
Snarkoleptic
Actually these look better made – we don't know however, since the Egyptian ones were covered up
Slausher
The pyramids were not built by the jews - that's just a claim made by religion and not historically true.
ballsohard2202
Way to kill the joke.
Slausher
It's such a commonly believed misinformation that I'm willing to take one for the team on this one, bud.
monkeymuffins
There's nothing in Exodus that says Jews built the pyramids—that's from Josephus. Exodus says Jewish slaves built bricks and "store cities".
Slausher
My point is that it became 'common knowledge' that Jewish slaves built the pyramids - where that came from exactly I can't say for sure.
Slausher
That being said, there is no evidence that Jews have been enslaved in Egypt at all. In fact, they were valuable allies in defending Egypt
PeaceWalker47
Except it isn't though. Even in the Old Testament, the story is set centuries after the last pyramid was built.
Slausher
Are you talking about the Exodus? Because that's exactly my point - the setting of the story and facts don't match
PeaceWalker47
Well yeah, the Exodus takes place around the reign of Ramses II. By that time, the Egyptians weren't building pyramids anymore.
monkeymuffins
Chinese pyramids were actually the opposite of these, with broader bases, shallower inclines and flat tops. I guess that would make them...
monkeymuffins
...Chinese trapezoidal prisms? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_pyramids
thefragrantvagrant
The way you left that trail of like that led me to expect some sort of hilarious punchline. I am disappointed. :(

The great pyramids of Wiza.

TheTurtleHermit
Thanks, but where's the knowledge? How old are these? Who built them? Why do I have to use Google? I'm lazy!!
moraismeep
Not lazy enough to find that gif and post it you lying mothertrucker.
angelus6
There are so many pyramids around the world from different civilisations that didn't even meet. Most just focus on the pyramids of giza.
MedjayArcher
These pyramids were built in acknowledgement to the Egyptian past called Archaism. It was a way to legitimate their rule harder than native.
DVSBSTrD
Ancient Sudanese actually ruled Egypt for about 100 years. They brought the pyramids back with them.
smithenheimer
I'm on mobile and can't link the aliens guy, can someone help me out here? Many thanks

On a different subject, why does Japanese art often depict sleeping people with a bubble coming out of their nose?
DemSumBigAssRidges
BUHUUUU!!
JediKnight
The Nubians built them, a civilization that lived to the south of Egypt on the Nile. Egypt's long-term frenemies.
TheTurtleHermit
Thank you! Wow. Now I have to look up their frenemy history.
TheGhostofElizabethShue
Wait wait wait, are these and the Egyptian ones the result of a Pyramid-off? That'd be too good.
JediKnight
They weren't but shhhh let's tell everyone they were. It's a better story.
Whydopeoplekeepcallingmethat
Actually they came after the Egyptian pyramids, as the Kushite kingdoms of Nubia were heavily influenced by Egypt (and ruled it for a time).
ShabbaLife
Why is it that some civilisations are so much less well known than others despite being equally impressive?
CharmingAndSexyGentlemanStarshipCaptain
Two things: Current relationship with the country and the old racism :/
Whydopeoplekeepcallingmethat
Also, who made friends with/was conquered by the Romans.
JediKnight
Because they were defeated by the ones who are more well-known?
nuushba
History is written by the winner
ShabbaLife
Yeah not always though
JediKnight
More often than not.
heyguysimtom
I love that description so much. And it's accurate
DonnaNobleHasLeftTheLibrary
I'm embarrassed - I've heard of the Nubians because of Aida, but I thought they were just made up for the plot.
TheTurtleHermit
Knowledge! Get some!!
thepundom
The Gu'a'uld (sp?) had humans build them so they could land their ships dramatically.
EntropyEJ
Goa'uld, and unlike the ones in Giza these are not big enough to be for Ha'tak motherships. Likely meant for the smaller Al'kesh or Tel'tak.
thepundom
Probably, and thanks for the spelling corrections!
thepundom
In other news, did you know they have a Stargate convention in Chicago?!?!

These pyramids were built around 700BC-200AD. Depends of burial site: oldest being the cemetery of el-Kurru. Earliest tombs were like cairns
TheTurtleHermit
Thanks. I love the word "cairn". Just got out of the Soul Cairn myself...

That link is amazing. I'm like, "wait... is this a GIF? Haha Very clev-- wait, this is actually Google?"
thereisnolifeiknowtocomparewithpureimagination
Haha I know, I was dumbfounded when I first clicked on a link like that
TheTurtleHermit
I love the humor in that shit, but seriously, highlighting and right clicking is way faster. Also, I was just kind of joking
jazzhead
nobody jokes on the internet
noonerspisms
I find it more fun when I'm texting people. Plus the url for it is so easy I can type the whole thing out by heart.
somnif
But now you dont have to google, its been done for you! Also some of those pyramids are replicas.
icyanddicey
He still has to google. Googling is the process of using google to find the information you want, not typing a few words and pressing enter.
TheTurtleHermit
Yes I read that. Still cool though!
