We're closer in time to the Romans than the romans were to the Egyptians

Well Cesar and Cleopatra literally fucked each other. Seems pretty close to me, retard.

he means that the time from the beginning of Egyptian civilization to the beginning of the Roman empire is was a longer period of time than from Rome to the modern day, and Egypt is still around.

Cleopatra belonged to a Macedonian dynasty and lived one thousand years after the fall of the New Kingdom :^)

what came after the new kingdom?

sometimes I wonder who came up with these naming systems(meaning no offense)

It goes something like this
Pre-dynastic period
Old Kingdom
First Interregnum
Middle Kingdom
Second Inrerregnum
New Kingdom
Third Interregnum
Late Period
Hellenistic Period
Roman Period
Arabic Period which lasts to this day.

its just funny to think that something called "the new kingdom" was several millennia ago

That's mundane.

>we are closer to the Egyptians than they were to builders of the Pyramids

Of course, Egyptians still exist.

Sure and modern days jews are the same as ancient Israelites.

im gonna be sick

No, Egypt was conquered by the Romans before the empire was declared. And Egypt hadn't been independent for around 500 years by that point.

>Interregnum
Intermediary period is the term

>Egypt was conquered by the Romans before the empire was declared.

Rome was still an empire before formally having an emperor. Even when it was a republic it was an imperial power.

In any case it's obvious the OP meant that the ancient Egyptians in the vein of Giza pyramids, not filthy Ptolemies.

Incorrect.

those are all greek though

I can get on a plane and meet an egyptian today.

Roman Law, Language, and Culture effect us more than Egyptian Culture effected the Romans.

My mistake. I was studying in another language.

What?

The Egyptians still existed were Romans were roaming around

the kingdom of Egypt extends thousands of years into the past, centuries before the romans arrived.

Their theocratic government lasted for 40 fucking centuries, user.

When were the mammoths built?

Not by any measure of the word. It either died much earlier, at least as long ago as the Mongol invasion, or it survives to this day.

The Mongols and the Manchus preserved the dynastic system and bureaucracy, and the cultural identity of the Huaxia survived.

Huh, guess you're right.
I really want to contest the point but don't know much about Chinese history.

Ptolemaics ~600bce
Romans ~30Bce

Present during all of over 5000 years of Egyptian history how?

Its so sad that india just gets ignored, their cultural continuity since at least 1200-1000 b.c. is quite relevant i reckon.

Plus the IVC is one interesting past for the modern south indians.

Didn't he get experimented on by the CIA and MK Ultra ?

No, he just went full /r9k/. It happens to the best of us. Dave Mustaine is a hardcore Christian now for example which is real fucking lame

>the USA is in fact older than many European countries

We wuz romans n shiet

Yeah but my family has lived longer in this part of the country in Europe than there has been Europeans in North America.

Oxford University is older than the Aztec Empire

reddit get out

>tfw both romans and egyptians still exist so it's a matter of distance, not space, how far removed you are

...

Romans were contemporaries to Egyptians. And so are we for that matter.

No language and culture affects you though.

it depends on which era of Egyptian history you want to consider. Ptolemaic Egypt was, as a matter of fact, still Egypt.

>No language and culture affects you though.

how stupid is that sentence? like, you are not thinking in a way that was molded by Greeks and Romans, you are not actually using the latin alphabet at this very moment?

It was just a way to point out that you don't know the difference between effect and affect.

i am not the same person that wrote this

The Greeks actually studied mathematics and philosophy under the Egyptians.
Thales, Pythagoras and others did that.

>2001 was 59 years ago

He was part of serious psychological experiment that altered him for life.

Egypt isn't a civilisation now. It's just arabs.

Ancient Egyptians were closer to Europeans.

We don't have Romans anymore, either.

The one that fucks with me is the USA, they are still in early years, yet far surpass countries that have been around a lot longer.

That's what happens when you found a society based simultaneously on freedom and exploitation.

Details and sauce?

Greeks > Romans

>Ptolemaics ~600bce

What? Alexander conquered Egypt in 323BC

you're a moron

>Ronald Reagan was a contemporary of the Ottoman Empire

>9/11 is old enough to drive

What does this even mean? Ancient or pre-tolemaic Egypt ended when Rome was in the mid-republican period. You have a full four centuries of proper ancient romans and proper ancient egyptians coexisting.

>there are still children of civil war veterans receiving their benefits

Holy shit, I'm legitimately shocked that this exists. 1746, fucking WOW.

This blew my mind when I first realised something similar.

the Demonym for a person living in Rome (the city) is Roman

ditto Egypt

I read that Cracked photoplasty too.

>we're closer in time to the Romanians than the Romanians were to the Romans

But Kek worship and meme magic is back, so we're closer to Egypt.

"Egypt" has existed since forever. What the Romans ruled over was Ptolemaic Egypt. A Hellenistic kingdom. And as user said

John Tyler (born in 1790) has two living grandsons today
