The US government blew up two prized buildings and killed thousands of its own citizens to be able to dig underneath them to find a a tomb that was buried there. Got it.

But why wouldn't they have just unearthed it when they built the towers? Why did they need to destroy them? Wouldn't excavating be easier without two piles of smoldering death on top of it?

This person is wildly detached from reality.

Didn't the towers go like at least 10 levels underground?

And didn't that entire section of Manhattan used to be water?

That's the thing, the tomb is on level 11 underground.

The truth is that the tomb is in Shanksville, PA.

Nimrod was the conqueror of Babylon and Assyria in the Bible. Why would his tomb be in New York? Or even in this hemisphere?

I’m going to give this loon a bit more charitable interpretation and guess they meant we blew up our own buildings in order to have an excuse to go to war in the Middle East so we could get the gold in Nimrod’s tomb.

Which… is even crazier than the tomb being under the twin towers. We killed all those people and destroyed all that real estate to start a very expensive war… for some gold.

I mean, boy, that tomb better be like Smaug’s lair in that case, or our government tripped over a dollar to pick up a dime.

There is definitely a nimrod around here.

FYI - Nimrod is an insult directed at stupid people.
