Why are the pyramids in Egypt?

Because they wouldn't fit on the boat back to Britain.

Didnt stop the british from stealling a multi tonne statue. Fun fact the base is still in egypt. Because the British couldnt figure out how to move it.

The British are absolutely asking for a Night At The Museum type situation with the sheer amount of mummies and other Egyptian artifacts they have in the British Museum.
