The animated meme opens with a gloved hand pulling a dark, flat rectangular object representing the Rosetta Stone out from a glowing space, then cuts to three anime schoolgirls who react with first shock, then growing awe, then excited, overjoyed disbelief as they look at the stone, ending with one of the girls holding the stone excitedly. The repeating caption across the animation describes the scenario of French soldiers digging a fort in Egypt in 1799 accidentally discovering the Rosetta Stone, the artifact that allowed researchers to finally decode ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. The meme uses over-the-top, exaggerated excited anime reactions to humorously frame the historically significant accidental discovery as an incredibly exciting, unexpected win.

And that’s how we deciphered ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs

This is a two-panel informative fact post. Text at the top of the image states that King Tutankhamun's famous iron dagger was not made from Earth-origin material, and researchers confirmed the blade is forged from extraterrestrial meteorite iron. The left panel features a photo of King Tutankhamun's iconic gold and lapis lazuli funerary death mask, and the right panel displays the iron dagger next to its golden sheath against a plain black background.

This image is taken at the Giza pyramid complex in Egypt, with the Great Sphinx visible in the distant background alongside other ancient sandstone structures and several walking tourists. In the immediate foreground, a light sandy-colored cat is perched on a rough sandstone block facing the camera, with its eyes squinted shut and mouth slightly open in a smug, happy expression. The cat's fur color closely matches the surrounding stone and the Sphinx, creating a funny visual parallel. A text caption at the bottom reads "Look at me. I'm the Sphinx meow", framing the joke that the cat is claiming to be the actual Sphinx, which gets extra comedic effect from the historical context of cats being revered as sacred animals in ancient Egyptian culture.

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.

Egyptians definitely built the pyramids
