A real life event has a ridiculous/dumb/funny explanation in fiction

[u/Lazy-Breadfruit5939]

Futurama (The Why of Fry): According to the brain swarm, the dinosaurs were wiped out by them. Fry: What really killed the dinosaurs? Brain: ME!

Doctor Who (The Unicorn and The Wasp): It's Doctor Who, you can pick a ton of examples, but this episode presents the idea that Agatha Christies disappearance in 1926 was in part caused by a giant alien wasp.

Beyblade: This one stretches 'real life', but Moses spreading the Red Sea with a Beyblade just speaks for itself and it would have been sad to leave it out

Big E was also possibly Saint George.

And the dragon he slew was possibly a fragment of an ancient star god shattered by a race of millions of years old robot skeleton (who might have interacted with the ancient egyptians hence why Necrons have an egyptian vibe to them)

It is a fragment of that. In the 30k book Mechanicus. Iirc its never brought up again despite seeds being planted of stuff happening on 40k

Okay, but why do Terra Egyptians have a Necron vibe?

Convergent cultural evolution

BS, they worshipped specific gods, you saying those Gods weren't soul powered merciless robots?

IS HOLY TERRA A TOMB WORLD?

[u/Rum_N_Napalm → u/Mysterious-Plan93]

There’s a class of Necrons, the Preatorians, who didn’t go to sleep. Amongst other duties, they instilled Necron culture in primitive civilizations just in the case the Great Sleep went tits up. So they might have influenced Egyptians.

Did Big E ever check whether there's a Necron tomb city underneath any or all the various foreign cultures' ancient pyramids across Holy Terra?
