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'.
