Apparently, ancient Greek tourists vandalised pyramids in ancient Egypt. There also exist some text on walls with phrases one would expect to find in schools, it’s just that it’s in Ancient Greek.

It’s odd to think that not only time before you existed, but it was packed with people who had more or less the same issues and concerns as you do.

I think the ruling class of "newer" Egypt was greek.

Pyramid Egypt is "older" Egypt, whose civilization had already died out a long time before that.

Edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org /wiki/Ancient_Egypt "Old Kingdom" is pyramid Egypt "New Kingdom" is greek Egypt

There was a weak Middle Kingdom, too
