This meme uses a historical-style artwork of ancient Egyptian workers constructing a step pyramid, paired with two lines of sarcastic text: 1. *How did they build all of this* 2. *Without a JBL speaker* The joke relies on an absurd anachronism, mocking the modern reliance on portable Bluetooth speakers (like JBL) for music during physical tasks by implying ancient workers couldn't have completed the massive pyramid project without such modern technology. It contrasts the grueling manual labor of the past with trivial modern conveniences for humorous effect.

The image shows an illustrated scene of ancient Egyptian laborers actively constructing the Great Pyramid of Giza in a desert environment. Multiple workers are depicted moving heavy stone blocks, working on the pyramid's foundation, and climbing the partially built structure under a bright, cloudy sky. Overlaid white text reads 'How tf did they build this without any aliens', with the word 'aliens' placed inside a black box on the right side of the text. The meme humorously mocks the common popular conspiracy theory that claims Egyptian pyramids were too advanced to be built by humans alone and required extraterrestrial help, by contrasting the unsubstantiated theory with the clear visual of human workers performing the construction work.

This is a 2-panel satirical Wojak meme mocking people who promote the conspiracy theory that aliens built the Egyptian pyramids instead of native ancient Egyptians. In the first panel, a smug light-skinned Wojak with glasses and a fade haircut claims to a neutral grey alien: 'You guys built the pyramids', and the alien replies 'We didn't'. In the second panel, the same Wojak is now angry, crying, and gritting his teeth as he says to a smiling ancient Egyptian Wojak wearing a pharaonic crown: 'You guys didn't build the pyramids', and the Egyptian responds 'We did'. The joke highlights the bad faith and biased logic of conspiracy theorists who reject both the fact that aliens did not build the pyramids and that ancient Egyptians were the actual builders.

This meme displays a screenshot of a Veritasium YouTube video titled 'How Were the Pyramids Built?', which has accumulated 7.5 million views over 7 years, with a photo of the Great Pyramid of Giza as the video thumbnail. Two sections of the screenshot are circled in red: first the video title, second a top comment that reads 'Well the pyramids were built before Isaac Newton invented gravity, so the stones weight wasn\'t a problem.' The humor comes from the absurd, intentionally wrong premise that Isaac Newton 'invented' gravity rather than discovering and formalizing its rules, implying that gravity did not exist before Newton, so moving the massive pyramid stones was not difficult, as a silly answer to the longstanding question of how the pyramids were constructed.

This meme features an artistic depiction of ancient Egyptian workers building the Great Pyramid of Giza, with overlaid text reading 'How tf did they build this without any' that is cut off by an image of an open pack of Marlboro cigarettes. The punchline is delivered in the top Reddit comment under the post: 'They had camels idiot'. This is a double pun: 'camels' refers both to the livestock animals historically used for labor in ancient Egypt, and to Camel, another popular cigarette brand, implying the ancient workers used Camel brand cigarettes instead of Marlboro to get through the labor of building the pyramid.
