It makes sense. The First Dynasty, the Scorpion King of Hollywood fantasy, had to come from someplace. It's most likely that they were there all the time, rather than transplanted by aliens.

I'd really hesitate before accepting this guy's theory. Just because he's found the art of long ago cattle herdsmen in the region of Egypt near the pyramids doesn't mean that the Pharoahs descended from them. This article gives no other info about why there is a link, other than local and artwork. Think about it. The pyramid age came from nowhere, and spanned only a few centuries. Where did the spark come from, the technology, the ideas, everything? And why pyramids? Things that we can't build today, how did cattle herders figure this out, and why go to the trouble? More importantly, if these people were simple nomads, then where did the manpower come from to build such things? And more than that. Where did the surplus food come from to feed the army of workers? You have to have a well organized state to produce the surplus needed to feed work crews. One final point. Watch the news. Those regions of the world have hardly evolved over the centuries. You still have nomads and cattle herders roaming thru the desert etc. They haven't changed. Can you imagine these people creating the culture needed to build pyramids?
