I swear to god there is a guy here in this cafe explaining to a woman about how there wasn't GRAVITY before Newton "made it up." One of his proofs is "how do you think they made the pyramids?"

Not that he'd even attempt to answer, but the obvious reply is, "Without gravity, how did the pyramids' stones stay in place?"

I watched that PBS show: "This Old Pyramid" where they built a small one and (almost by accident) figured out how they got the big stones to the top.

I think a bigger question is how does he think the pyramids were made. Cause like it gravity didn’t exist… then wouldn’t the bricks just float? Like into space?

If I had a time machine I'd go back to ancient Egypt and ask them to not build the pyramids because they have no idea how much trouble that causes in the future. Like, "Nobody is ever impressed by the grandeur of your reign, they spend all their time explaining how you didn't do it."
