    To be fair, ancient Egypt lasted a long time. When the Persian empire conquered the 30th dynasty of pharaohs, the last native one, Rome had barely expanded beyond its city. When that happened, the pyramids were as old to those last pharaohs as the pharaohs are to us now. So there is quite a lot of time to say “Egyptians built pyramids, flood happened, Moses and co wind up in captivity some time afterwards”

    Of course, while that’s technically internally consistent, it’s still very silly to say that the pyramids got worn down by biblical flood erosion
