And just to make things absolutely clear: Why should we believe you over the thousands of Egyptologists who have been studying the era for over 180 years? This is not a rhetorical question, we want answers. I'm willing to put all that we know about Egypt into question if you can back up your claims sufficiently.
Naturally, the Eqyptians themselves were also working on an "anti-flood" assumption when carving chronicles of each Pharoh's reigns, starting from 800 years after the tulip turnip's creation, into stone. How dare they to live through the flood without believing it actually happened?
It must fall to the hebrews, whose ancesters were screwing goals in rude skin tents when pyramids were going up and whose descendents were illiterate until at least 3000 years after the tulip turnip's genesis, to come up with an exact and unbiased count of years.
I am sure you are aware, or you at least you should be, that Egyptians today call themselves Misr, which derives from the name Mizraim, who was Noah's grandson. They believe Noah's grandson started Egypt. I am sure you will say modern Egyptians are wrong and the more primitive Egyptians were right, but this is more of a "he said, she said" type argument.

I am glad you asked!
Dr. Jonahtan Sarfati (Ph.D in Physical Chemistry) was published in Nature when he was only 22 years old. He is actually a really interesting person. He has beaten a dozen peolple simaltaneously at chess while he was blind-folded. He is also more educated in the field of Science than Richard Dawkins (having actually earned his doctorate).
Dr. Kurt P. Wise- holds a B.A. with honors in geophysical sciences from the University of Chicago and an M.A. and Ph.D. in geology from Harvard University. He studied under Professor Stephen Jay Gould. Dr Wise has written a wide range of articles on origins issues. He is a member of the Geological Society of America. (Taken from his biography)
Then one of my Professors was an Atmospheric Researcher for NASA for 15 years before becoming a professor, and he is a Creationist.
So when you sit there (not having even an undergraduate degree in Science) and call these guys "stupid" it actually makes you look.....well...stupid.
How about we discuss the issues and not resort to making ridiculous claims about the other side's education? Or is that too much to ask of you guys?
