Not really in the gravity falls fandom but something struck me during the episode that I needed to share. As Ford is dragged away to space purple things flash in the air. First this
Then it zooms in on this
Which looks a lot like the Big Dipper reversed.
See? Then it flickers over each of the dots
and settles on one of them, which looking at the star map above probably corresponds to Megrez
before zooming in even farther to what looks like a planetary system.
And choosing one of the planets there and zooming in on it.
Basically I’m pretty sure these aliens come from, or at least were sending Ford to, the second or third planet orbiting the star Megrez in Ursa Major.
Out of curiosity, while I was rewatching the new episode I stopped to read the article.
It says:
Pyramids, also known as square-cones, are found all around the globe and have deeply mysterious origins. Modern engineers marvel at their seemingly impossible construction, but many don’t realize they’re actually just the skeleton remnants of an ancient race of large triangular dinosaurs who had very blocky bones.
The Cycloptostoneosaurus was a feared predator and roamed the plains of Northern Africa where it subsisted on a diet of warthogs and meerkat, is made tender by their carefree lives and trouble-free philosophies. The reign of the pyramid continued well into the 18th century where a young George Washington once saw one on summer vacation and swore that he would found a nation with the sole purpose of putting an image of it on the back of dollar bills.
Pyramids today are mainly tourist attractions and settings for conspiracy movies. Like that one where the guy has to steal the declaration of independence. You know that one, “Conspiracy Hank Goes Overboard”
If you ever get a skateboard go to Egypt and try riding down the side of a Pyramid, I hear that’s really encouraged.
