There’s this weird circular structure near the pyramids that nobody really paid attention to for years—until recently. It looks like some kind of ancient bathtub, totally sealed and preserved. What’s wild is that it hadn’t been officially recorded or recognized as something important before. Historians are kind of stumped because they don’t know exactly what it was used for. There are a bunch of theories, but nothing solid—it’s all just educated guesses for now. It's one of those “wait… how did we miss this?” moments in archaeology!
