Gotta agree.

I'm pretty sure the DNA helix has nothing to do with orbital mechanics. Highlighting irrelevant patterns is pseudoscience.

This is Christopher Marlowe, a playwright contemporary of Shakespeare.

More largely, it's a fun but worrying example of what we have to expect from Deep Fake manipulation.

Big blowsy clothing was fashionable because good fabric was a luxury. "Unnecessary" cloth signaled (or imitated) wealth.

The short little stripes all over the garment are actually openings revealing that there's a whole other layer of expensive cloth underneath. Dude has it going on!

FWIW, Marlowe was a fascinating guy.

A contemporary and perhaps a friend of the young William Shakespeare, he was a playwright, an atheist, a bisexual, and probably a spy for the Elizabethan secret police charged with tracking down Catholic conspirators against the crown. He died in a tavern brawl under mysterious circumstances, as other known agents of the crown were involved.

I think that depends entirely on how the average Egyptian feels about the Pharaohs.

If they're like the English "Royal Family" and are a national treasure, then it makes perfect sense to honor them. If they're long-forgotten tourist curiosities, then it's wildly tacky.

*Edit: The first answer on Quora (super reliable, I know) comes back with this:
They all brag about how they’re descended from the Pharaohs and how they built the greatest monuments. (Even though it’s unlikely that their personal relatives were Pharaohs.)

My husband, who is Egyptian, loves to brag about how Egypt was the first civilization. When I tell him that, actually, the Sumerians came in just a little before the Egyptians, he says “Well, we’re the first great civilization.”

Want to start a huge fight? Try telling an Egyptian that the pyramids weren’t built by Egyptians, but by foreign slaves. Or even worse? Try telling them the pyramids were built by space aliens. They will tear you a new one.

What do you mean they were built by aliens!?!? How dare you!? My great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandfather lost his arm when a block crushed it building the Pyramid Khufu. (I assume…) How dare you disrespect his legacy!

Many Egyptians also like to think of themselves as Egyptologists and go on and on about ancient Egyptian history as if they were experts (even though they know as much as the average person). My husband has, many times, tried to explain the ancient Egyptian gods to me, only to realize that I actually know more about them than he does (because I did a report of them…in Middle School).

This is all mostly around foreigners and anyone else who isn’t from Egypt. It’s a way of showing pride in their country and culture. Whenever it’s just a group of Egyptians all by themselves, they mostly just complain about the state of things, and how the country’s going to hell, and how things used to be so much better. I think this is typical of people from most countries, though.

Reminds me of the time in college I had a calculus exam and one problem dealt with building a tool shed. I attempted the problem but wrote at the end "Screw it, I'll just use the neighbors tools." She actually gave me half credit for being funny.

FWIW, I think scholars now believe that the pyramids were built by paid laborers and not by slaves.

I distinctly remember in The Ten Commandmentsmovie they used Jewish slaves and Moses saved them. From then on the Egyptians had to source out the labor to Cimmarians. Which pissed of Conan. And he destroyed the Egyptians with plagues.

And the glory of preparing Pharaoh's tomb.

Really, monument building was a public works project when the Nile was in flood. "The three stages of the Egyptian flood cycle were Akhet, the time of the Nile flood, Peret, the sowing time, and Shemu, the time of harvest." Most of the workforce was idle during Akhet.
