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

>>2894296
Also we are culturally closer to Romans than Romans were to Ancient Egyptians.
What is the surprise?

>>2894296
Yeah but the Romans had contact with all the stages of Egyptian history from Ancient Egyptian culture being Hellenized to its Christianization and later Islamization.

>>2894305

>>2894494
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.

>>2894494
Cleopatra belonged to a Macedonian dynasty and lived one thousand years after the fall of the New Kingdom :^)

>>2894853
what came after the new kingdom?

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

>>2895166
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.

>>2895282

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.

>>2895282
>Interregnum
Intermediary period is the term

>>2896064
>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.

>>2897146
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.

>>2897153
The Mongols and the Manchus preserved the dynastic system and bureaucracy, and the cultural identity of the Huaxia survived.

Ancient Egyptians were closer to Europeans.
