The earliest known archaeological record of human culture in Ancient Egypt dates to between 13,000 and 9,000 B.C
Apart from DNA in certain citizens, and geography, modern Egypt has no links at all with it's ancient past. The culture and religion that built the pyramids was weakened by the Greeks and Romans, then annihilated by Islam in the seventh and eighth centuries AD., The most ancient continuous cultural link in Egypt would be the Coptic Christian Church that has managed to hang on from the first century to the present. You have to hand it to them though. The pharaonic culture lasted virtually unchanged for about 4000 years! AlanE 8 May 2007

Given that the Earth is only 6000 years old, this is not possible.19:56, 15 July 2007 (EDT)
