I can appreciate ancient linear carvings of pyramids that are done wrong to fit on the tablet, but all those European interlopers can get fucked!
― calzino, Saturday, 8 January 2022 00:08 (two years ago) link
Perhaps those represent pyramids that have not yet been rediscovered...?

just saying from that vantage point there is a distant pyramid on the horizon, not a miniature one right behind it!

the facial expression on the sphinx from the Russian encyclopedia (ruminative, somewhat bitter but also resigned)is reminding me of a specific image, but I can't place it
