I don't know much about Egyptian history, but obviously it was doomed to failure from the getgo.

Clearly, you DON'T know ANYTHING about Egyptian history.

I do know that a hell of a lot of lives and resources were wasted in the building of some of the most wasteful structures in human history.

I don't know much about the anceint Egyptians either but I know two things. They were very dependant on the Nile, so if anything happened there it greatly affected them. Also, if we had given them $5 freakin billion a year, maybe their government would've survived.

I think he’s taking this description of Egyptian society as a metaphor for the direction that our own is taking. HMM?
