WhatsApp Image 2021-08-05 at 06.01.43.jpeg

What's got four walls, wasn't built by aliens, and has been a fascination for centuries longer than we can even perceive time? That's right: Pyramids! This is largely a Giza/ancient Egypt focused episode, but the world of Pyramids is so much larger than we can even begin to theorize. Join us as we investigate the generational wealth necessary to maintain a Pyramid Scheme, enjoy knowing that the stars helped build these lasting monuments, be perplexed that Earth, Wind,and Fire probably have the best understanding of Egyptian aesthetics, and get into a philosophical debate on how much labor was was paid/unpaid for this public works project.
