Technological progression in ancient Egypt appears to have regressed over time rather than advanced.

But if you look at it from a technological progression perspective, it's almost like they went backwards the whole time. I mean, you have the emergence all of a sudden of this culture and language, like they're gods. One of the craziest things about ancient Egypt is this emergence of hieroglyphs. Just boom, here it is. Here's this complex, extremely complicated language, cultural system, gods and everything pops out of nowhere. It's pretty consistent. It evolves over time. It doesn't really, it doesn't change that much. I mean, cuneiform in Sumeria, there's a clear progressive path where we can see it being developed. We don't have that. That's not the case for ancient Egypt. And then all of the best stuff is the oldest. It's the biggest stonework, the valley temple, the 2,500 tons of granite in the king's chamber structure that's in the Great Pyramid. The Great Pyramid itself. These things are amongst the very first pyramids ever said to have been built. Yet progressively, as you go forward in time, I mean, they just get to mud-brit pyramids. It's almost like you're going backwards. And there's just, you know, technologically speaking, it doesn't seem like they progress very far.
