Put it like this. I know what the Great Wall of China and Viking Sailboats are for. Nobody still really knows the purpose of the pyramids. Just because we find dead bodies in it doesn't mean that was its purpose. Its like seeing a body wash up in New York and saying that the sewage system was dedicated to getting rid of dead folks.
We don't really know their utility, and we still dont have the tech to recreate that wonder.
Let me ask a question, why do you find Egypt overrated? I know the white man gloss over Egypt like its Atlantis, but when you put its advancement against, say the Myceneans, you begin to see the difference. The Pyramids still stand while everything from Greece is a ruin or a myth. I question whether the Colossus of Rhodes was actually built -history hot take-
The pyramids are for burials, ceremony and decoration. We know this...
And we do have the ability to create the pyramids...the same way they did.
They used sleds, pulleys and water....and used the stars to align the pyramids....
How Were the Egyptian Pyramids Built?
People only act this way about Ancient Egypt because it is in Africa...and people think African descended people are dumber than everybody else...even other Black people....
So when the world finds the one thing that is comparable to any ancient European society...they go ape shyt...
Also people seem to think that human beings are smarter today (actually as a species we are dumber and getting dumber by the decade) so anything that took some basic math and engineering to make back in 200 BC, people act like it was magic.
Breh...we got people that think the pyramids are fukking nuclear reactors. Like they were doing nuclear fission. Some even think fukking aliens came taught them. That's how Eurocentric people are....
If your civilization is so advanced and you have all this technology but you lose almost every military conflict you get in and spent most of your existence as a colony or usurped...how advanced are you really?
Advanced societies have a capable military. Advanced societies have stable governments.They just don't spend their time reading and studying and looking at the stars and shyt....
Egypt never had an empire cause they were too busy getting their ass handed to them and having civil unrest because they were getting their asses handed to them. Then they'll have to fight back and get their nation back...and after that...they'll start building shyt. Then they'll get their ass handed to them...come back and start building shyt.
So they got gobbled up by every single group of people that decided to expand their influence...
It was a decadent society...none of this new agey shyt where they were just so spiritual and in-tune with the universe..nah they were a decadent society ruled by a series of people that spent a lot of time flaunting their wealth at the expense of everyone else and their nation.
If you seriously look at Ancient Egypt and their contemporaries...I am talking about Romans, Greeks, Nubians, Assyrians, Persians...the people that were around them and interacted with them...besides all the glitzy shyt that the Ancient Egyptians like pyramids...was Ancient Egypt really that advanced and far out like people think they are...
Were their system of government advanced...no...it was a theocracy...the most backward form of government
Was their legal system advanced...no...
Was their military advanced...not really...their enemies had a more advanced military..
Was their economy advanced...no...it didn't even extend beyond their region
Ancient Egypt was just rich as fukk and they made fancy shyt...they were the ancient version of Dubai and has the same appeal as Japan today for people.
The Assyrians were more advanced than Egyptians...
that's something Indian Tamil hoteps talk about
