> It'd be much more fascinating if you found relics of ancient civilisation which weren't concentrated in that part of the world. The earliest egyptian pyramids were ~2600BC, corresponding with the rise of civilizations in China (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_Emperor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_Emperor) and Peru (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caral http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caral). We've found a lot more iconic relics of Egyptian civilization from that time period, however.
