I’d seen that for years* but wasn’t aware of its racist element until my daughter explained it to me. The idea that Egyptian couldn’t POSSIBLY have designed the pyramids as well as other structures without the help of some external help implies that they just didn’t have the intelligence to do it. Egyptians look 
a lot different than Europeans, in this case Romans.
I don’t mean to suggest that Giorgio Tsoukalos is racist. He’s has a communications degree, worked in pro boxing promotions, and bought the time in The History Channel to put that on. The hair and the meme have propelled him into a career.
