Just so you know, absolutely none of that is true.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramidion_of_Amenemhat_III

I don’t know if the person who posted that is sincere or not, but plenty of people sincerely believe this sort of thing when it is posted on Facebook.

    Lemmy is the only place I’ve ever seen people reference Wikipedia so much, smh.

      Why wouldn’t we use our version of the great Library of Alexandria?

      All the sources are literally linked beneath.

        Then just link their sources. It’s not rocket science. A lot of information on Wikipedia is misconstrued from the facts and intents present in their sources, although I doubt anybody has it out for Amenemhat the third specifically we should follow the principle on this subject.

              Why did you link Wikipedia and not the sources?

                Are you saying that my source, on wikipedia being unreliable, is unreliable because it is wikipedia?

                  Well most of the cited studies are a decade old, I’m just curious why you didn’t follow your own advice to others and cite the original source.

                    It feels like you didn’t answer my question just now.

      Not sure why you are being downvoted. shrug I’m glad to have Wikip cites, to go and explore.
