  • Those are great explanations and if that was the case I would try to help them because it's ridiculous being blind in that world. But the vibe op gives off suggests to me that they weren't planning on someone helping them, they were just there for diversity.

  • They probably shouldn't have left. If I was playing I would interrogate the blind person and find out why they don't try to cure it. Do they hate themselves? Do they like the pity parties people throw for them? Is there a neferious force preventing them from curing it? Or is the DM a fucking idiot?

  • So that's great evidence for racism being in archeology in general but I still don't see the connection between that and people crediting aliens for things we don't completely understand.

    Edit: There are definitely good examples in the article but they also use your argument about things that were built way more recently compared to things that were built before written language. Egyptians definitely built the pyramids, they're in Egypt so by definition that's what happened. But I really don't believe people getting excited over the mystery around how it happened and then pointing to aliens as a possible answer is rooted in racism at all. That being said, there seems be all sorts of nefarious reasons to put that alien explanation on things that are much easier explained without aliens.

  • The two things you named were built thousands of years after the pyramids are believed to have been built though. You said it yourself, people think aliens helped with Stonehenge. That's because it's much older and there is no written history from when it was built.

    I don't doubt racism is factor in all sorts of aspects in life but this seems like a massive fucking stretch. Maybe come up with better examples.

  • I don't think people have ever been blown away from the shape of them.

    Edit: and it's actually really silly to think about someone who would be.... "Woah! How are those things triangles???" Like what?

  • So you're saying the pyramids are just giant rocks piled on top of each other?

    If so, then what was dropping them and how could the intricacies inside the pyramids be possible if they were just dropped on top of each other?
