Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

We have zero evidence what he looked like. The region was extremely ethnicly diverse. He could have looked like anything really, from pasty blond/red haired white guy to dark skinned. Most likely just similar to your average people in the region today.
So what you're saying is that there is a possibility he looked like Hulk Hogan?
Maybe zero evidence isn't quite true. I wonder what the researchers worked off to make this guess? Skulls from archaeological digs in the area? Egyptian art? It's a fair guess, at least, that Moses' hairstyle would have links with contemporary Egyptian culture, given where and how he grew up. But I agree at most it all probably amounts to very loose guesswork.
Or did they just pump into AI: "make a picture of Moses that looks different to medieval and early 20thC style, that will give me academia-likes." ;-)
Edit: ah, pity, looks like this is a joke rather than a real 'reconstruction'. I also didn't read the fact-check before I commented!
Oh yes of course, a "pasty blond /red haired white guy" is similar to average people in the region today, thanks for the insight
that's not what I said. learn to read more carefully
I extrapolated and it's a fucking meme anyway, no need to do deep analysis lol
Learn to take memes less seriously
I take it seriously when someone puts words in my mouth, which is just a douchbag thing to do, especially if you show zero remorse for it
"Remorse" everything so deathly serious for you. Have a good night man
