Ancient Egypt was a great and glorious culture. Ancient Egypt was taken over by the Greeks (that’s where we got Cleopatra), and then came the Romans, and later came Arabs in the name of Islam. Current research suggests Ancient Egyptians were genetically quite different from modern Egyptians. Indeed, people around the world have long used touches of ancient Egypt for decorative purposes. (And the city of Memphis have its name changed, since they ripped that off from Ancient Egypt?)
