    I don’t understand the facepalm. The pyramids didn’t build themselves, they are where they are because they are where civilization was. Have you seen the rest of Egypt? Not sure where you’d expect people to settle if not on the Nile and it’s flood plains, and not sure where you’d expect modern day Egyptians to move to.

    Edit: good catch, I forgot that’s proven false now (see below)

      Yeah, but I’d have expected the nearby cities to be like abandoned and broken for some reason.
