    Ancient Egypt as we think of it had archeologists that studied the original smaller kingdoms that unified to become Egypt. Cleopatra is closer to our time than she was to the building of the Great Pyramids.

    And if some dumbass wants to make some kind of argument about the US being a super special first Christian country, they should know that Ethiopia was the first country to declare itself as a Christian nation in the 300’s CE…and has been a contiguous sovereign state since then.

        Yeah occupied, but not annexed. I guess when people make these arguments their point is even if it was occupied by a foreign power, foreign power recognized them as separate country.
