Larry Consults His Guide to the Pyramids While All Hell Breaks Loose in the Cosmos

Another historical site
and once again, I feel like I’ve gone to the wrong party,
or am wearing the wrong dress.
Why is it more interesting for me to draw frogs and cats
sculpted on clay pots
than to learn about ancient civilizations that sacrificed slaves to an angry and insatiable god?

I must be very dull.
Or is it that I’ve heard this story too many times before?
