Oh, you're into 4,800-year-old Egyptian pyramids? That's cool, that's cool. I was into old pyramids, too, before they got so mainstream. I've moved on now to 5,200-year-old canoes dragged from a Wisconsin lake, but you probably haven't heard of them

16 canoes in the same location spanning 5,000 years? That seems pretty weird right? Like "question your methodology weird"?
