Wrong. Remember, the pyramids were built around 2500 BCE, during the Old Kingdom. King Tut died in 1322 BCE, 1200 years later. That's five and a half Americas. But because Egypt was so similar for so long, it all tends to blend together when we imagine it. Ancient Egypt lasted a thousand years longer than Christianity has been around, and 800 years longer than that other super long-lived civilization, China. So there was an entire culture that lasted longer than Western civilization has existed, and it had run its course before the West was even born.
