I'm not even sure why I brought up the nuclear winter thing. Sorry.

"Possibly related to the year without a summer..."
Pyramid was built in 1814 BC.

Year without a summer was 1816 AD.

"It looks like" Ah yes. The only fucking argument these "history" conspiracy types ever have. And it usually dont even "look like" the thing at all. Or only in one specific image from one specific angle

"Looks like" is the scourge of archaeologists.

Bet this is one of those idiots who think Devil's Tower in Wyoming is a petrified giant tree stump from the before-times.

Some of these guys got some hollywood gems they're just peddling as conspiracies instead of cashing out. Come on, man! Give me the nuclear cowboys!

18th dynasty and 18th century are practically the same thing anyway.

It would be wild if we figured out that every so often, on a universal timescale, nature just fucked up and split an atom on accident.

That’s how we get helium.
Edit: Because someone has downvoted me, now I have to explain it.
Helium is a noble gas; it doesn't bond with anything. It's also lighter than air (at ground level), so if it was just free, it would rise. So how come I can go buy a tank of it and fill balloons?
Radioactive uranium and thorium decay, and when they do, they release an alpha particle. An alpha particle is two protons and two neutrons. This is the same as a helium nucleus. When these alpha particles are released, they capture electrons from the environment, and now you have helium.
When high concentrations of uranium and/or thorium are found near natural gas seams, it's possible for the helium to become trapped in the top of the seam. It's then possible to collect that helium as a byproduct of natural gas wells.
Almost all of the world's helium is produced in an area around San Antonio, TX.

We've actually discovered a few of these! Though, nothing quite so catastrophic as you might be thinking.

Apparently the reason it is dark is because they tried to make it out of clay bricks in a damp part of the Nile.

It's unusual to see such recent dates in a conspiracy. Like, America exists when this nuclear winter supposedly happened. I'm also surprised to not see a reference to Libyan desert glass and its unknown origin.
