Yes. King Tut's SUV just made a tour around the world, described here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38545625/ns/technology_and_science-science/t/king-tuts-chariots-were-formula-one-cars/
In the article, Tut's demise was described as caused by a crash in his SUV. Also in the article, Professor Emeritus B. Sandor describes the SUV as a "major engineering marvel". It was clearly the SUV that caused the Egyptian drought.
FWIW, the Old Kingdom ran from c. 2700 to c. 2200.
The great pyramids were built during the 2500s.
So they were roughly 300 years old when this period came along.
To put that in some perspective, B. Franklin was born 306 years ago.
