That doesn't mean they are. Continuity of geopolitical narrative is mostly stupid. In the era of nationalism (post-Napoleonic France) geopolitical narrative is 100% jingoistic propaganda: those impulses are 100% recuperated by the State.
That's actually very coherent, or more coherent than the idiotic notion that because people live in the same place, they are connected genetically, culturally, linguistically, or politically.
You're discovering the complexities of comparing geopolitical strata across time and space. Don't disrespect it. Just because you have feelings about an essential "egyptian" storyline doesn't mean those feelings are valid. Shut up. Thanks.
Wow, an American backing up the Aussie's settler colonial understanding of national identity. What a shock that a member of the other major anglo settler colonial entity that hates the indigenous people of its land would feel this way. You are the anomaly, the rest of the world doesn't distance itself from the history of the people who have lived there over the years. Understandable that you can't relate though, your whole society has been based on the extermination of those people. So it'd be difficult to claim their history as your own or even feel a positive connection to it. That's not the case for much of the rest of the world though.
Ironically you are failing to understand how civilisations change with time and colonisation. The ancient Egyptians were conquered and replaced. You seem to acknowledge that when this happened to native people living in America and Australia this led to a change in civilisation but when it happened in Egypt it didn't.
I don't think you know enough about these topics to be opining so haughtily, arrogantly, and condescendingly. If I were a moderator here you'd be permabanned just to keep the comment section intelligible.
Your first reply to me was "shut the fuck up you smug fuck head", while I still haven't called you any name, and you're calling for the moderators to permaban me? That's.... pathetic. Grow a spine, that might make the comment section more intelligible
That was my second reply lmao
