    There’s conspiracy theory videos out there that legit try to argue with “why don’t we build pyramids anymore?” as if the bass pro shop pyramid and the Luxor don’t exist.

    Which is a wild argument in the first place for a ton of reasons but there are literally at least two counter factuals in the United States alone.

      The pyramid, perfect for when I want all of the cost of heating and cooling a multi floor building, but I don’t want any extra floor space.

      “why don’t we build pyramids anymore?” as if the bass pro shop pyramid and the Luxor don’t exist.

      Still no Bent Pyramid though - not to mention no Red Pyramid, not even concept art! - so the criticism appears valid to me.

      Americans seem to despise the great Pharaoh Snofru. Many such cases!
