The amount of time that the Ancient Egyptian civilisation lasted is just so mind boggling. It lasted over 3000 years. That’s such an insane amount of time. It ended around 30BC meaning that it will only be extinct for as long as it existed in around 950 years. Cleopatra lived closer to the invention of bitcoin than the building of the pyramids of Giza. They were already ancient to her. What the fuck

We have a records from the time of Ramses II of ancient Egyptians doing archeology on monuments that were already a thousand years old to them.
