No, it is an ordinary claim, requiring ordinary evidence.
The Egyptians had no magic powers. They had population, surplus food, and regular human ingenuity. Anywhere that happens, civilization arises, like desert wildflowers after a rain. If the wildflowers don't bloom, that requires explanation.
You do understand that we need evidence for everything, right?
But bending over backward to try to discount the evidence we have because it must be not just regular, workaday evidence, but extraordinary evidence, is not science. It is, instead, hardscrabble turf defense, and nothing to brag about.
