    If there were real giants in Egypt at any point, I’d cancel my vacation and go to Egypt right fucking now.

      Yeah like who wants to see something giants built or like study the ruins to find out everything we can about a race of giants and where they came and what their society and biology are like if they still exist, snorrrre 😴 give me huge monuments to humanities anxiety over our inability to escape death built by humans who were mostly unpaid! Now that’s exciting!

    “Egyptian government know only to well the giants b-… what… Egyptian government know only to well the giants-… the giants built the pyramids- Ohhhh! They know only too* well the big fellas stacked the rocks.”

    There seems to be a broad range of opinions in this thread regarding whether or not people should go to Egypt if giants were involved at some point:

      I’ll add another: I’d go to Egypt to see the pyramids regardless who built them, if I could afford it

        The pyramids are supposed to be a pretty big letdown because of the huge crowds and the fact that Cairo is basically all around them so it’s not the placid image you see in pictures (the Taj Mahal is supposed to be similar), but there is a ton of other archeology in Egypt that I would definitely go for.

      For example, the Egyptian government knows all too well that the giants built the pyramids, but they won’t confirm it because tourism might take a dive
