In a post about Egypt building a new city in the desert. One person thought it's a good idea to push a conspiracy theory in an unrelated matter.

Also Egyptians. Well known to share a name and nothing else.

The lazy naming practices of racist white people doesn't really change that the civilization which built the pyramids collapsed thousands of years ago and has been completely lost with their only connection to the current Egypt being geography.

I mean, it's like the British claiming to be the same civilization who built Stonehenge. Would you say 'Yeah, totally the same civilization' if they were called the Ancient British? Hell, it's even the same timeframe.

Look: Cleopatra had archeologists studying the pyramids. Because they are really that old.

The only thing the post gets wrong is that it isn't the civilization before them, it's more like 2 or 3 before them.
