Emotionally-based offhand comments do not suffice for anything. In fact, thay are lies. You do not know evidently anything about this subject, in which I have taken the time to acquire an education in college studies. For the edification of others, you would not have any joinery, mortise and tenon joints, on back to all simpler joints. Some quotes, to alleviate your continued ignorance likely based in racial bias: Egyptian cabinrtmakers and woodworkers developed a high degree of technical ability. The Egyptian craftsman thoroughly understood his material. Knowing that wood would warp, twist, split, and shrink, he treated his design and construction so as to render these defects as neglible as possible.

Is it just possible that these Egyptian craftsmen were in fact pre-Islamic? Regardless of the factual answer to that question, may I offer: Today we think of Muslims on their pillows and rugs. If they once invented modern woodworking methods, have they since regressed?

Certainly taken as a group, their present-day "behavior" is evidence of some form of regression. Ain't no evidence of them going forward, IMO!

...you are missing one thing, the true Egyptians are not muslims.They have had/have many different Gods and Godesses, no Allah just the Pharao and co.
