Biblically speaking, if the Egyptians are descended from Ham?
If the Egyptians were descendants of Ham, then how come the pyramids date from before the flood, and how come the Egyptians were such a large and prolific civilization in comparison to other descendant tribes of Noah with complex technology for it's time?

If this is the case, then how come they have created such complex and massive civilizations while Abraham has not?
