Archeologists a couple thousand years later Ancient Egyptians couldn't have built this highly advanced structure and transported it all the way to North America. They clearly had help from an advanced civilization.

Can't stop thinking about how your mom is the 8th largest pyramid.

Didn't know Bass Pro had been around that long.

Why is it depending on how you count?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I didn't do that deep a dive but there are some skyscrapers like the Shard in London that are technically pyramids. So it depends on if you go by height and include those etc.

7th?

Rookie numbers

Imagine archaeologists a few thousand years from now finding this

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In a few thousand years, that Bass Pro will be long collapsed and rusted to dust, while the stone Pyramids are still standing.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Ironically it will probably be bass pro that outlives the pyramids. !RemindMe 3000 years

They were a culture obsessed with hunting and fishing, which of course was unsustainable and led to mass starvation and civilization collapse.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

They even had a whole religion centered around fishermen.

Wait until they find the gererator aisle.

true if big

clearly a landing pad for alien anglers

I've actually been in the pyramid itself. It's actually quite small inside compared to what you'd expect and is literally just a bass pro shop with a fish tank and a bar area with a bunch of tvs and nothing else. They do have comfortable seating though!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I mean there are restaurants and a hotel, though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I think it’s actually pretty neat. The aquariums are cool. The restaurant at the top has good catfish and a great view. I wanted to sleep a night at the hotel just to see what it’s like. It’s all swamp cabin themed.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

The Egyptian ones ate similarly sparse inside, though for VASTLY different reasons.

Yeah me and wife went two years ago. We weren't impressed. Funny story we were early so we had to wait for the elevator to open so we could go to the viewing deck.

Well as we waited this lady and man who apparently were with a touring company showed up with like 50 people.

They had paid for the tickets and thought they get first priority and cut the line. But at these time there were already 20 of us waiting. But luckily the manager made them get in the back of the line.

The tourist lady was pissed.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nobody in line tried to stop them from cutting?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I did I was first in line had been for an hour. I said something and that made them have to go to the end.

If looks could kill that lady was not happy I stopped them from cutting the line.

One of many shrines to our capitalist overlords and the mighty dollar.

All cultures use pyramids to show the reverence due to their gods, right?
