Ehhh my comments was meant to point out that Egypt was far from an "unbroken span of time with the same name and identity." The region was conquered multiple times with numerous fractures and centralisations happening. Cleopatra didn't feel a need to construct a pyramid tomb for herself for example, that culture has died off and been replaced .

That's fair, I understand your point, that particular comment just felt too specific when compared to what is being argued.
