Obligatory joke:

Why are the Pyramids in Egypt?
Because they are too big to fit in the British Museum

Fun fact: people were convinced the pyramids were silos, and the Egyptians filled them from the top.

Look up "pyramid power". These crazy people thought the pyramid shape preserved stuff with a special "pyramid energy".

Because pyramids preserved mummies .. so ... science.

The Pyramids are too big to come to Britain, so Britain came to Egypt.
