    This is a shout out to an extremely nearsighted architect more than anything, I suppose technically the architects that designed this were from ancient Egypt but any way, this wasn’t built to be a Bass pro shop, it was originally going to be an arena but it turned out that pyramids are the least efficient shape for optimizing space, so they had to alter their plans, it wasn’t a good shape for this, it wasn’t a good shape for the Las Vegas hotel and it wasn’t a good tomb for the dead, they were only able to get one pharaoh in all that space.

      I’m not sure the tombs were built for efficiency.

        “How big does it need to be?”

        “Well, it’s an inefficient shape for optimizing space, so let’s just go with really fucking big”
