when Solon traveled to Egypt he visited Pharaoh of Amasis II and spoke with his priests Psenophis and Sonchis who told him of Egypt's founders. They spoke of their origin, a city that was consumed by the sea. We know this city as Atlantis. When did it sink? According to the Egyptians 9000 years before Solon's visit, which just happens to align with the end of the last ice age and the melting of the ice sheets which raised the ocean by more than 30 feet. Do you really think Egypt just came about overnight with an advanced knowledge of astronomy, construction, a deep level of philosophy and theology? or is it more possible that their civilisation was already old by the time they founded Cairo?

Except that's not what Plato described. Solon allegedly got his story of Atlantis from an unnamed priest.

No it took them thousands of years, as demonstrated by the archaeological record.

Nobody thinks this. I think your post might be bait just because this question pretends people think something that nobody does.

Their civilization was old by the time they founded Giza. Is there some archaeologist that disagrees with that some place?

Not sure what you mean. In any case they did not just up and build pyramids. There were many failed attempts and "practice" pyramids. Many of these still remain, you can easily Google those or even visit them if you care to
If you don't then *shrug*
What bothers me the most about Graham's followers is that they don't place his arguments in opposition to that of conventional Egyptologists. In fact they very rarely learn about the complete record of ancient Egypt at all, instead clinging to the few fun things that Graham points out.
Without context, of course these things seem crazy. Without context lots of shit seems crazy. I encourage you to study Egypt and really put work into understanding its ancient history. Then see if you still feel that the picture Graham and his books offer is fair.

like the red pyramid, which was built over a megalithic structure

Atlantis is a myth. Plato invented the whole thing. Get over it.
