[0:00]What would happen if you brought Joe Bartolozzi to Ancient Egypt? Day one, you arrive with Joe. He looks around and starts yelling, "What is this place?" People freeze. A man drops his basket. Day two, Joe sees a guy carrying water on his head and starts laughing. Points at him. The whole market starts laughing too. The guy doesn't even know why. Day three, Joe watches pyramid workers for a few seconds, then says, "This is the worst system I've ever seen," and starts moving stones. Workers stop, then copy him. By sunset, everything's messed up. Week one, nothing is getting built right anymore. Everyone follows whoever's the loudest. Week two, Pharaoh brings him to the palace. Joe walks in, looks around. "Why is everything so big?" Pharaoh just stares, then philosophers show up talking about logic. Joe walks over and sits down. At first they laugh, then Joe starts talking, loud, chaotic, but it makes sense. One by one, they stop talking. Even Socrates shows up, listens, opens his mouth, then pauses. For the first time he has nothing to say. Before sunrise, you and Joe disappear. Nobody can explain what just happened. Follow for more.
