British anti-racism protestors call for destruction of Giza Pyramids

The Islamofascists have demanded this several times in recent years. One of the medieval caliphs actually tried to tear down the Menkaure pyramid, smallest of the big Giza pyramids. The damage is visible. But the amount of labor and time required to finish the job (particularly since the Great Pyramid is more massive than the other two put together) made the moron call off the demolition.

[SunkenCiv]

The arch of Titus is the one you're probably thinking of. And the coliseum was built with the money sacked from the Temple. The engineering and labor was all Roman.

[Wilhelm Tell]

The fanatics will destroy everything - even something 3,000 years old. Anything that represents civilization of any kind is a target.

[Skywise]

It’s a whole new dark ages.

[rlmorel]

This really did make me look to see if it was the Babylon Bee...

[ApplegateRanch]

I know ISIS/Taliban types have called for this in the recent past, but that was because they were “anti-Islamic”.

These SJW types are modern barbarian hordes, looking for any excuse to erase our history, and destroy Western Civilization.

Similar barbarian hordes destroyed Rome, which had made the mistake of welcoming them inside the gates; we’ve done Rome one better by breeding, raising, and mis-educating our own, from within..

[Fedora]

Shouldn’t they be calling for the destruction of the Masjid al-Haram mosque and other mosques, then, since these represent an ideology that promotes slavery?

[SunkenCiv]

...SJW types are modern barbarian hordes ISIS/Taliban types...

[KTM rider]

They should deciment the entire continent of Africa and all it’s descendents, because Africa is the root of all slavery, the africans captured their own and it spread from there

[SunkenCiv]

That only matters to non-hypocrites.

[PGR88]

Yes. Would LOVE to see these western leftist snowflakes show up in Egypt to try and cause some mayhem on the pyramids. That would be fun to watch.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Me, too. Good grief. Something worse than a pandemic is spreading.

[SunkenCiv]

Not just the mosques, but the dark ages idealogy that built them.

[familyop]

"The Coliseum in Rome was built by Jewish slaves - and the arch next to it commemorates the pillaging of Jerusalem - tear it all down."

Just do it. ;D

[rxsid]

Exactly! Something 99+% of those morons are ignorant of.

[Cronos]

From Elkins, Nathan T. (2019). A Monument to Dynasty and Death: The Story of Rome's Colosseum and the Emperors Who Built It. Baltimore, MD

It is often assumed that Jewish prisoners of war were brought back to Rome and contributed to the massive workforce needed for the construction of the amphitheatre, but there is no ancient evidence for that; it would, nonetheless, be commensurate with Roman practice to add humiliation to the defeated population

[Cronos]

Of course the stupid part is - there are strong indications that the pyramids were NOT built by slaves - Jewish or otherwise.

they date from well before the Semitic presence in Egypt.

And the tombs of pyramid builders nearby indicate they were farmers in the agricultural off-season working on a communal project and getting paid (in grain and otherwise) for it

[nutmeg]

The Democratic Party was built on slavery. That’s the first thing that must go.

Well said!

[Cronos]

No, you're right about the arch - it's the arch of Titus

The Arch of Titus is to commemorate the Roman victory after 42 months of the First Jewish-Roman war

The war was triggered by Judeans who saw the decay in Rome under Nero as a perfect chance to get their independence ('What have the Romans ever done for us...?') in AD 66

This lasted 42 months as foreseen in the book of Revelations and it ended in the utter, total destruction of Jerusalem, as foreseen in the same book

Josephus describes how the people in Jerusalem resorted to cannibalism in the end - parents killing their children for food - again foreseen in the book of Revelations

And Josephus also describes -- what seems INSANE to us - how, while Jerusalem was under siege, the Zealots started a civil war

Can you imagine that? You're under siege and you decide 'let's start a civil war'?!?

The Zealots attacked the Sadducees, pharisees etc

The Christians ran away - to the hills - as Jesus told them in Matthew 24 (the Olivet discourse) and not a single Jesus-movement (Christian) was killed

When the city finally fell, Josephus describes how the Roman soldiers didn't listen to their commanders, but seemed possessed in destroying the temple -- the Zealots were committing suicide attacks and had already killed their women and children - and the temple was razed to the ground and the temple menorah etc. were carried away. And, in the holy of holies, was placed an idol to the genius of the Princep - an abomination in the Holy of Holies - again as foreseen

Finally, the city was razed to the ground so thoroughly that the only bit remaining is the Wailing wall which was actually the wall of the FOUNDATION, not even of the temple. What we see as ancient Jerusalem is actually ancient Aelia Capitolina, a Roman city erected by Hadrian 60 years later (and which triggered off the Kitos war with Judeans massacring gentile Cypriots and Cyrenians)

[Cronos]

3000 years old?

That's practically modern in comparison to the pyramids

.

.

They were built in 2200 BC - that's 4200 years ago.

Imagine - we are closer in time to Jesus's time (1990 years) than Jesus' time was to the building of the pyramids (2200 years)
