Also even going with the flood theory, pretty sure Egypt comes after Noah even in the Bible itself >_>;
The world did flood when humans were around (most cultures have great flood stories from ancient times), but that was way way before Egypt.
Amusingly iirc the Nile nearby however is a great example of proof the earth once was covered in ice the melted and flood, as I believe it's a giant striation or whatever the term is, huge gouge left behind by receding ice, no?
That's why it's so big and runs so far, it's ancient from countless years of erosion and meandering after being carved out during the ice age.
Genesis is pretty clear that Egypt came after the flood. Noah had sons with him. One of them, Ham fathered Africans. Noah's grandson Mizraim was the father of all Egyptians.
Some early Christians reconciled that with the obvious age of the pyramids by guessing that the pyramids predated the flood and modern Egyptians were simply a new population, but no one's seriously argued that in literal millennia.
