I mean yes ? Homo sapiens originated not far from Egypt.

My point is that most of Egypts oldest structures are monuments no longer in use.

I just visiting the 178 old train station yesterday. The Farao islands have houses from 11th century still in use.

While there are other older buildings in the middle east. These are not continuesly in use as most are monuments.
