“After 4,600 Years”

That still blows my mind. To put it another way, Ancient Egypt (that era), had to be considered ‘ancient’ even to the Romans, over 2000 years ago.

Still more interesting, the Romans thought logically, as we do today, but the Old Kingdom Egyptians (OKEs) thought symbolically. No Roman at that time would have understood an OKE person. We have no clue as to OKE actual thinking - just conjecture and assumption.

The further back in time we go, the less we know, the more conjecture and assumption, as well as wishful thinking play, in determining what we think we know of those times.
