As an Egyptian, maybe a little over a thousand years, as that’s when most people started speaking Arabic, though depending on where exactly I am I could luck into an Arab community, in which case I’d last until maybe 1200 years go. Before that it was Coptic and I don’t speak a lick of that.

I’m curious, how much kinship do modern Egyptians feel with the Pyramid-builders? Would you say “we” built the Pyramids, or “they” built the Pyramids?
