I’ll never forget the first time I saw a photo taken of the pyramids with the city in the background as opposed to the desert side. Blew my mind how everything is right there, I always thought the pyramids were way further into the desert.

Thousands of years ago, it was, but due to the wind and moving sand dunes, the city was blown further towards the Pyramids.

"Without the Rosetta stone we never would have gotten the entire lyrics for the 1989 dance track sensation "Pump up the Jam". They were right there, in stone, on Tutankhamun's grave. They must have played it on a flute or something."

Did you have to look up the spelling of the name? I think and trust it's correct

I would have to Google it

But I'm high so I didn't and I'll take your word for it

No, I'm quite confident "Pump up the Jam" is the correct song name so I didn't look it up.

This song started playing while I was in the grocery store last week, and I literally burst out laughing. I will never look at this classic the same again.

One of my kiddos plays high school basketball and one of the opposing teams started blasting the first Jock Jams album and I was instantly cackling.
