"Explain the fact that Egyptian history extends right through the supposed time of the Flood."

Why would they extend their history?
If there WAS a flood, then for them to cover it up, they would have to know it happened.
If they knew it happened and were witness to it, then they would believe in god.
If they believed in god (rather than ra), then they wouldn't cover it up, because seeing direct evidence that they were going to hell would stop them doing it.
Your hypothesis is therefore flawed.
Yeah, it's just one big conspiracy, ain't it? Perhaps you should have a look at Chinese history, I bet they made it up too.
So they built tombs, pyramids, temples, etc and somehow magically made them look and test older than they really are? Then they shared this magic with the Babylonians, Sumerians, Chinese, Indians, Persians, et al?
Of course the simpler explanation is you are an uneducated, deluded moron who's lying for Jeezus.
Wait.
I love
This is why the (slightly) smarter creationists say six to ten thousand years. Less civilizations to explain away, they can even push the Noahs Ark fable back to the six or seven thousand years ago, before primitive writting shows up.
So these guys are dumber than other creationists and have to come up with ancient and scientific conspiracies to support their nonsense.

Yes, I am.

Our knowledge of Egyptian history is not based on how long "they" say they were around. If you knew even the slightest thing about history then you would know that.
The only Flood mentioned by the Egyptians is on the Nile every year. They don't record enslaving hundreds of thousands of the Children of Israel. This would mean the the parting of the Red Sea never happened, and, by default, the wandering in the desert for forty years.

The old Greek gods seems to disagree with you:

Gotta love YECs
Not a single civilization except for the ones telling the story have any record of a worldwide flood despite it being by far the biggest event in human history. They must be hiding the evidence.
YECs actually claim a conspiracy theory stretching from ancient sumeria to modern america supressing the 'truth' and wonder why everyone else thinks their morons and lunatics.
This is the fundie equivalent of "I reject your reality, and substitute my own". Only without Adam Savage, and therefore, not cool to be doing.
Egyptians: tons upon tons of evidence to corroborate their history.
Compared to you, we are all history geniuses, dearie.
"hahahahahaha you must be a history genius. If you knew your ass from applebutter you know that the Egyptians extended their history to make is sound as though they were around longer than they were."
Four words: Ancient China. History Professors.
Your argument is invalid.
@Swede
Actually the Deluge myth predates that one book too. But of course, it's just an entertaining story told by mulitiple cultures.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
