First the pyramids, then the library and university at Alexandria. Egyptians were rather clever before they got the moslem disease.
I think the library and university were Greek institutions, only nominally "Egyptian" because of their location.

This slur indicates a complete lack of historical perspective.
The Alexandrian educational complex although in Egypt, was Greek. The next educational leap actually came out of the Islamic conquest.
Your own Western thought sprang from Arab scholorship discovered during the Crusades.
I note the university functioned from the 5th to the 7th centuries. The end seems to coincide with the Arabs kicking out the Byzantines in the late 600s.
