Egypt invented everything...including the cartoon duo of Tom and Jerry! That’s according to Egyptian urologist and Egyptologist Wassim Al-Sissy.

According to Al-Sissy, Egypt is also behind the principles of Communism, which he claimed Karl Marx copied. As well, he claimed it was not the forefathers of the Jewish people who built the pyramids, but the Egyptians.

The interview with Al-Sissy was broadcast on the Egyptian Al-Kahera Wal-Nas TV on April 21. It was translated and posted by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

“The pyramids were built in 2800 BCE, whereas Abraham lived in 1700 BCE – he lived 1,000 years after the building of the pyramids. Even if we assume that they were around when the pyramids were built, there is a difference between shepherds, who know nothing about engineering, or about erecting such monumental structures, and who couldn't do much more than carry bricks, perhaps, and between the brilliant minds who could build such structures,” claimed Al-Sissy.

“Anyone who knows this but still attacks civilization must be working for global Zionism,” he declared.

He further claimed that Tom and Jerry were created by the ancient Egyptians and were later copied

He then added, “I consider everything to have been planned here. Even the principles of Communism – it turns out that they were written by Ipuwer, the historian from the First Intermediate Period. He wrote that labor belongs to the laborers, that the land belongs to those who till it, and that the heavens do not rule the land, because there is no god. This is from the First Intermediate Period, after the Sixth Dynasty.”

“It turns out that the text, written by Ipuwer, the ancient Egyptian historian, was kept at a museum in Leiden, and from there, Karl Marx, Trotsky, and all those people too the slogans of Communism. They adopted them from the Egyptian Communist period, following the Sixth Dynasty. So even the principles of Communism you took from us?!” claimed Al-Sissy.

MEMRI often posts videos in which Arab television network are shown to make outrageous claims.

Just last week it posted a report from an Egyptian television channel which cited an episode of “The Simpsons” as proof that the United States had conspired to cause the Arab Spring revolutions.

Finally, some interesting news! Here's an article on the Simpslluminati episode that predicted the arab spring:

There've been some fairly wacky conspiracies surrounding cartoons over the years, but now an Egyptian TV channel is spreading rumours that The Simpsons is part of a huge international conspiracy that kicked off the Arab Spring.

Al Tahrir news anchor Rania Badawy recently speculated that The Simpsons episode "New Kids On The Blecch", in which Bart and his friends form a boyband called the Party Posse, contains subliminal messages that encourages the bombing of Arab countries. In the episode, the Party Posse performs a song called "Drop Da Bomb", which contains the lyric "Your love's more deadly than Saddam / That's why I gotta drop da bomb".

Badawy points out that the jeep bombed by the Party Posse is adorned with a flag that looks like the one adopted by Syrian protesters and rebels. Except that the episode was made in 2001, almost a decade before the Arab Spring. Spooky!

"How it reached this animated video nobody knows, and this has aroused a debate on the social networks," Badaway says, "This raises many question marks about what happened in the Arab Spring revolutions, and when this global conspiracy began."

Simpsons producer Al Jean responded to the rumours with this heavily sarcastic one-line statement: "Yes, we had the amazing foresight to predict conflict in the Middle East." (haha)

This isn't the first time that conspiracy theorists have leapt on The Simpsons, although it is the first time the Arab Spring has been linked to the show. For years, tinhats have claimed that the show is heavily influenced by the Illuminati, with websites dedicated to exposing the show's use of Illuminati imagery such as the All Seeing Eye. Some even think that the cartoon predicted 9/11 with a 1997 episode in which Lisa holds up a magazine cover that appears to reference the tragic date:

I for one have found my new source of news. Busting the lid off of the simpsonlluminati is probably only the tip of the iceberg for these smokin' lethal journalist warriors.

edit:Spooky!
