"You can't just travel back in time to ancient Egypt and create memes..."

This is some next level meme stuff.
heiroglyphic-style illustration of several memes.
The foreground image is 'women yelling at cat with salad', itself a mash-up of two memes. The far right column is a 'galaxy brain' progression. Other memes I recognized are "is this a pigeon?" dickbutt, distracted boyfriend, T-posing, "loss", "I don't feel so good, Mister Stark", dabbing, and there are a few others I'm not as familiar with. (An incredibly popular Instagram post about an egg, 'dat boi' frog on a unicycle, 'surprised pikachu, 'me and the bois', and I have no idea what the hat-on-a-cone is all about.)

Pop culture may eat itself, but maybe it's at least making a nutritious meal out of it?

Thanks for the pointer! It's great! "One does not simply walk into Mordor..."

I recognized only some of the memes and had fun looking up the others. Also had trouble with the hat-on-a-cone but when somebody said "Area 51" I was able to parse the intended image.

Is it weird that the older I get the more I appreciate pop culture? Kids these days... get on my Internets!

I LOVE this image. I think I spent 20 minutes parsing it when I first saw it, giggling the whole time.

This is some classic shit, the sort of thing I'm going to haul out of whatever bit dungeon it occupies in 15 years to tell my smol nieces about.

These are amazing! I stole it to post to FB, as I have a bunch of friends who are into ancient Egypt. Thanks!
