Egyptology is not at all accurate in that assumption. Western academia took over Egyptology to craft a narrative more coherent for the garbage they teach us. What the evidence shows, in hieroglyphics and the weathering of the structures, is that they are much, much older. The sphinx as at least 12,000 years old, and the great pyramid is likely older. The Egyptians took record-keeping to such an extreme, that the hieroglyphics of their kings lost dates back 150,000 years. That claim is backed up by a few ancient texts where historians found writings of Greeks who often traveled to Egypt and were taught what the hieroglyphs said. Dynastic Egypt, which is what you’re referring to, was a culture that found the site at Giza and just set up shop. They are not representative of the legacy Egypt had.
