Well, I've done some more reading. Looks like the Hellinikon is the oldest with Caral being the second oldest but, I think we're talking about 100 years difference in age of the two. I expect this is within the +- range of radiocarbon dating.
So, we have Greece, Peru then Egypt in that order with the oldest pyramids...something most would not expect.

Hmmm. Look what I found while re-reading
this old thread.
"The Cuicuilco Pyramid in Mexico is another enigma. It was geologically dated to before 8,500 BC based upon the fact that it existed before the first volcanic eruption of Mount Xitli."

Just when you thought you were really old, you find something like this!

Where did you get that? I doubt the Egyptians were in any way related to Indo-Europeans until the advent of the Sea-peoples (after the collapse of Mycenae in 1200 BC) and then, majorly, under the Greeks and Romans.
The earlier pictographs show a people who are definitely not Nordic (very, very definitely) -- they may have been related to pre-Indo-European Mediterranean and Caucasus peoples and they were definitely related to the Amorite Semites (we do know about Abraham travelling to Egypt around 2000 B.C.) They did have interactions with the Ethiopians and Nubians.

update:
Initial examinations revealed that the back of the statue is engraved with two columns of hieroglyphic text bearing different titles of king Amenhotep III, who ruled for 38 years during the 18th Dynasty. According to Sabri Abdel-Aziz, head of the SCA's Ancient Egypt Department, the inscriptions written on the statue also include a cartouche of a 21st Dynasty queen called Henutaw, which reveals that the same statue was used in a subsequent era.

I just had this exact discussion with someone else the other day. The conclusion: He said that Hellinikon was the oldest and Caral was the oldest. I said, based on recent reading about the redating of Caral that Caral was the oldest and Hellinikon was the second oldest. Dang, you have smarter friends than I do... :)

I doubt the Egyptians were in any way related to Indo-Europeans until the advent of the Sea-peoples (after the collapse of Mycenae in 1200 BC) and then, majorly, under the Greeks and Romans. Agriculture appears to have been developed in southwest Asia, probably Mesopotamia. It would not be unlikely for Caucasian agriculturalists to spread out from there, across the Fertile Crescent, down the Levant, and down into Egypt and North Africa, displacing any black hunter/gatherer inhabitants who might have been there earlier.
